Help! A co-worker went in and changed workflows which is causing major problems for me and each of our segments. I am at a loss as to how to restore the original workflows that I designed, tested, and had approved with our board of directors. I have a support ticket in with Hubspot right now. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance. ---

Hi @StefanieSmith, Working with Support on this issue will be the best way to get a response specific to your portal. Reverting workflows back is not currently a functionality of the tool, however there is an [Idea](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Add-revision-history-for-workflows-and-forms-that-shows-which/idi-p/11335) in our Ideas forum requesting this functionality. I would recommend giving it an upvote if you haven’t already to improve the likelihood of this feature being implemented in the future 🙂 Thanks, Jenny ---

Thanks, Jenny! I am working directly with Hubspot, just hoping this is something that can be added as a Hubspot feature because there is not currently a way to give “read only” access to workflows. If “read only” had been an option, I may not be in this predicament with a careless colleague. Hubspot has been helpful, they just do not have the capacity to restore workflows at this time. ---

Hi Everyone! I have found [this idea](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Workflow-Undo-Option/idi-p/253536) where a customer is asking for a workflow undo option. It has already some votes so I invite you guys to upvote it too! Remember: The more upvotes an idea post has, the better the likelihood of getting it implemented 🙂 ---

Definitely needed. i mistakenly deleted an action and all other actions under it. would be very useful to be able to revert to a previous version. I can see the other versions so would think i can also revert to it! ---

Hi there, I understand your frustration. A situation like this—where an accidental change to a workflow causes significant issues across your segments—is exactly what my app, [**WorkflowGuard**](https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/listing/workflowguard), is built to prevent and fix. Here’s how WorkflowGuard would have helped you: - **Automatic Versioning & Backup:** WorkflowGuard automatically creates a new version of a workflow whenever it is modified. The original, approved workflows you designed would have been saved as separate, restorable versions. - **Instant Rollback:** You wouldn’t need to wait for a support ticket. WorkflowGuard allows you to **instantly restore** any workflow to a previous, correct version with just one click, solving the problem immediately and minimizing the negative impact on your segments. - **Complete Audit Trail:** You would have a clear record of who made the change and when, providing accountability and helping you prevent similar issues in the future. While HubSpot doesn’t offer a native way to restore a previous workflow version, [**WorkflowGuard**](https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/listing/workflowguard)provides that critical missing functionality, acting as a **safety net** for your automation.
