Rollback strategy for releases

Publishing without a rollback plan means navigating blind if something goes wrong. Rollback is not failure — it is a safety procedure every mature team prepares in advance, alongside feature flags and monitoring.

Before publication

Identify the last known stable version. Confirm rollback is technically feasible (feature flags, reversible deployments, store version availability). Document the procedure in your release checklist so ops does not invent steps under stress.

During an incident

Internal communication is critical. Status in HyperRelease can reflect urgency: move a platform back to Draft, document the rollback decision, and keep support aligned on what users should see.

After rollback

Run a short post-mortem: what changed in this version? Release history and changelog in HyperRelease accelerate diagnosis and prevent the same gap in the next cycle.

In summary

HyperRelease does not perform technical rollback — but it documents what was published, which is essential for reverting intelligently.
