Rollback

Rollback (or rolling back) is the process of reverting changes in either Salesforce, your Remote Git Repository, or both. Rollbacks are useful if you need to revert a bad deployment or change. You can rollback to any Snapshot for a given environment that has not been deleted.

Performing a rollback

Rollbacks are performed with the env:rollback command. You will need to know the target snapshot's number in order to rollback; you can use the env:snapshot:list command to list all the available snapshots for a given environment.

By default, a rollback will:

• Revert the Environment State to match the state as recorded in the snapshot.
• Revert the environment's Backing Git Branch to how it looked at the time that the snapshot was taken.
• Revert any changes in your Salesforce org since the snapshot was taken by performing a Flow Out with the metadata in your Git branch as it looked at the time that the snapshot was taken.
• Delete any snapshots that have been rolled back. For example, if the most recent snapshot number for an environment is 10, and you rollback to snapshot number 4, then snapshots 5 to 10 (inclusive) will be deleted.
