Undoing the Latest Production Push Step by Step

Undo Production Push restores the live update-related scope from the temporary checkpoint and verifies the restored production version/routes rather than merely flipping a database version value.

Step-by-step procedure

  1. Confirm the tested update row shows a valid temporary checkpoint and the rollback window has not expired.
  2. Select Undo Production Push.
  3. Keep the page open while QCUL restores protected database/file scope in restartable batches.
  4. If rollback stops safely after an error, correct the issue and use Resume Undo/Resume Rollback rather than starting another production operation.
  5. After rollback, confirm the previous extension/Joomla version, review public/admin routes, and verify the report says the live update was undone.
  6. Refresh the update list and retest in the laboratory if you plan another attempt.

Rollback remains an operation

Database/file restoration can take multiple bounded requests. Keep the page open, respect the saved rollback state, and use Resume Undo/Resume Rollback after recoverable interruption instead of launching other production work.

Recovery discipline

When working with Undoing the Latest Production Push Step by Step, keep the independent backup available even if the QCUL checkpoint is valid. The checkpoint is a fast, short-lived update rollback mechanism; if its protected scope, validity window, or verification cannot satisfy the incident, move to the broader recovery plan rather than extending QCUL beyond its promise.
