# How to restore journeys to a previous version

> Revert a GBG GO journey to an earlier version to undo recent changes or return to a stable configuration.

GBG GO allows you to revert a journey to an earlier version. This is useful when you need to undo recent changes or return to a stable configuration.

When you restore a previous version, the system re-publishes that version to preview and updates your draft with the restored flow configuration.

## Understand version states

As you modify and publish a journey, GBG GO tracks each version:

* **Preview version**: The most recent version published to preview

* **Production version**: The version currently live for customers

* **Draft version**: Your working copy with unpublished changes

The Dashboard displays a **Behind** indicator when your production version lags behind the preview version. This shows that production is using an older configuration.

## Create and publish journey with multiple versions

### Step 1: Create a journey

Follow these steps to create a journey:

1. Log in to the GBG GO Dashboard.

2. Click the **Create a new journey** list.

3. Select **API only (v1)** to open the journey builder.

4. Add a module to the journey.

5. Click **Publish to Preview**.

6. Navigate to **Dashboard**.

On the Dashboard, the production environment *Last Published* column indicates that the journey isn't deployed to production yet, displaying "Not deployed yet."

### Step 2: Publish journey to production

To publish the journey to production:

1. Click the **Actions** list.

2. Click **Publish to Production**.

3. Select the confirmation checkbox.

4. Click **Publish to production**.

The "Not deployed yet" status changes and displays the deployment time and date.

### Step 3: Create a new version

Now that you have a journey published to both preview and production, when you make changes to your journey in the Journey builder, the system automatically versions your journey.

To make a change to the journey:

1. Navigate back to the Journey builder.

2. Add a new module to the journey.

3. Click **Publish to Preview**.

When you navigate back to the Dashboard, you see the *Behind* indicator. This shows that the journey published to production is now behind the preview version.

To keep production up to date with preview:

1. Click the **Actions** list for the production environment.

2. Click **Publish to Production**.

3. Select the confirmation checkbox.

4. Click **Publish to production**.

The *Behind* indicator disappears, and the production version is now up to date. You also receive an updated production version number.

### Step 4: Restore journey to a previous version

Once you have multiple versions, you can restore a journey to an earlier version:

1. Click the **Actions** list of the preview environment.

2. Click **Restore a previous version**.

3. Select a journey version from the version list to re-publish to preview.

</Frame>

4. Click **Publish version to Preview**.

The journey is reverted to the selected previous version. You can also see the changes reflected in the journey builder.

## What happens during restoration

When you restore a previous version:

* The system extracts the journey flow from the selected version

* That flow is re-published to the preview environment

* Your draft is updated to match the restored configuration

* A new version number is assigned to track this restoration
