Rolling Back a Custom Application

I've created a custom application, and I'm publishing this application to "My Instances". So, when I publish a new update I have the option to install the new update on my other instances.

That brings up a question. How do I rollback to the older version in a case where something wasn't working correctly? I don't see a "rollback" option or anything that tells me how to handle this situation.

I would not recommend uninstalling in production or you will lose all your data for that app.


You can select "Retain tables and columns" checkbox to retain tables and data while uninstalling the app. But again it depends on the options


When uninstalling an application in Helsinki and Istanbul, I'm not seeing a checkbox with the label Retain tables and columns.



Where exactly does it appear?

Hello Art,



Retain tables and columns is visible only when an app has custom tables created as part of the application.
