How to revert flow to the previous version ServiceNow Flow Designer

[Amey Kapse]

Hello community,

I’m currently working with Flow Designer and ran into a situation where I made some changes to a flow that I now need to roll back. I’d like to revert the flow to a previous version that was working as expected.
Is there a recommended way to do this within ServiceNow? Any tips or best practices for restoring an earlier version of a flow would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hi @Amey Kapse ,

For this it is supported way to restore an earlier Flow/Subflow version by using the platform’s version records and the “Revert to this version” action on sys_update_version entries.

Filter out your name and open its previous version from related link click on "Revert to this version", ensure that you are in same application scope.

Refer this developer article

If you have made changes to flow and would like to rollback, for example I added new action 'Log info' for testing

Go to History and click on version you would like to revert to, preview the flow and click on Restore

After restore, make sure to activate the flow as by default after every changes you need to activate the flow.

If this helped to answer your query, please mark it helpful & accept the solution. 

Thanks,
