Restore a playbook version

Sekoia.io keeps a history of the versions of each playbook, so you can see who changed what and roll back a change that broke your automation. This article explains how to open the version history of a playbook, preview and compare a version, and restore it.

A new version is saved when the playbook is created, then each time you save a change to its name, description, workflow or custom fields. Activating or deactivating a playbook does not create a version.

Retention

Sekoia.io keeps the last 30 versions of each playbook and deletes older versions automatically. Version history covers playbooks saved at least once since August 1, 2026.

Prerequisites

  • To view the version history, you need the permission to read playbooks.
  • To restore a version, you need the permission to edit playbooks.

Open the version history

To open the version history of a playbook:

  1. Navigate to Playbooks.
  2. Click the name of the playbook.
  3. In the playbook header, click the ... menu.
  4. Select Version history.

The Version history panel lists the Current version and the Saved versions, each with its date, time and author.

Preview a version

To see the workflow of a saved version:

  1. Open the Version history panel.
  2. Click a version.

The Version preview window shows the workflow of that version in read-only mode, with its save date. To see the configuration of a node, click the node.

Compare a version with the current one

The Code tab shows the JSON of the selected version next to the JSON of the current version, with the differences highlighted.

To compare a version with the current one:

  1. Open the Code tab of the playbook.
  2. Open the Version history panel.
  3. Click a version.

To display the selected version alone, turn off the diff toggle.

Restore a version

Restoring applies immediately

Sekoia.io does not ask for confirmation. If the playbook is activated, its next runs use the restored workflow.

To restore a version:

  1. Open the Version history panel.
  2. Click the version you want to restore.
  3. In the Version preview window, click Restore this version.

The restored workflow replaces the current one and is saved as a new version. The version you replaced stays in the history, so you can restore it later. Restoring a version does not change the name, the description or the custom fields of the playbook.
