I've come across an issue in which the configuration of my app is broken (through using functionality of the ExB GUI only), though the published version works just fine.

Even without such issues, it would be really useful to be able to revert to the published version / delete the draft of the app, as you can do in Sites, to start again from the published version:

Yes, this would be very helpful!  And honestly, why even give me an option of Save vs. Publish if I can't go back to the Published version?  I mean it's nice to have, as a temporary view, but very frustrating when you can't delete "the draft" version.

Hey Dean,

I just posted a similar idea that would also include this functionality. Check it out:

I also am in need of this functionality, would be super helpful as we have multiple editors in a web experience and I've now lost quite a few of my original edits and am unable to get them back, despite them showing up fine on the published site

ESRI, please consider this. You built this incredibly customized app builder, but it's hard to do any long-term development with teams without a bare minimum of version control. At the very least why shouldn't there be a way to revert to the published version?

This is something I hope takes months, not years to add. Saving multiple copies of an already published Experience is unfortunately not a useful option when our whole organization is already referencing the published authoritative version.

I had my experience all finished for larger views, and was working perfectly. I published it a couple of days ago, and today I did the optimization for the smaller screens, by changing from the default to custom structures for each of my pages and moving things around so that they would fit better. I though that by doing this, the changes I made would be reflected only in the tablet and phone views of my experience. After doing all that work, I went then back to the larger screen size view, and oh surprise, things had moved around there too, in a very bad way.

Now I need to revert the changes I made and go back to the version I last published to my experience. So, please please esri, please implement this idea, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!
