# Reverting applications to previously promoted versions

When you revert applications to previously promoted versions, the reverted versions of the application will not exist outside of PingCentral until you promote them again, at which point they will also be available in PingFederate or PingAccess.

## Steps

1. On the **Applications** page, locate the application you want to revert to a previously promoted version.

   |   |                                                                             |
   | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | You cannot revert applications created in previous versions of PingCentral. |

2. Click the expandable icon associated with the application, select the **Promote** tab, and then click **View Details**.

3. In the **Promotion Details** window, click **Revert Application**.

   ### Result:

   A message displays asking you if you are sure you want to revert this application.

4. Click **Revert**.

   ### Result:

   The reverted version of the application displays in your applications list.

   |   | Reverting OAuth and OIDC applications to previously promoted versions overrides client secrets, so you will need to create or generate new secrets before you promote them again. Reverting SAML applications to previously promoted versions overrides the Entity IDs, ACS URLs, and certificates, so you might need to update this information before you promote them again. |
