This page explains how to restore (roll back) an entry to a previously saved version in Contentstack. It is intended for content managers and developers who need to recover earlier content states after updates, and should be used when you want to make an older version the latest version of an entry.

## Restore Old Entry Version

In Contentstack, every update to an entry is saved as a version, allowing you to track changes and restore previous states if needed. This feature helps you recover earlier content versions efficiently.

To restore or rollback to an earlier saved version of an entry, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login), and perform the following steps:
