Revert a feature to a specific revision

deprecated

Deprecated. Use POST /v2/features/:id/revert instead.

Restores a previously published revision and immediately publishes the result as a new revision. The caller needs Revert access for every affected environment. When approval is required, the request is allowed only if the caller holds the FlagsBypassApprovals policy, or the organization enables either “REST API always bypasses approval requirements” or “Allow reverts without approval”.

If the restored values no longer match the Feature Flag’s current value type or JSON schema, the API returns 422 with warnings. Send "ignoreWarnings": true to acknowledge those warnings and continue.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

If using Bearer auth, pass the Secret Key as the token:

curl https://api.growthbook.io/api/v1/features   -H "Authorization: Bearer secret_abc123DEF456"

Path Parameters

string

required

The id of the requested resource

Body

application/json

revision

number

required

comment

string

ignoreWarnings

boolean

Set to true to acknowledge the warnings listed in a blocked response and continue. This covers experiment guards, locked dependents, and references affected by an archive. When the organization treats schema failures as warnings, it also covers schema and invariant warnings. It never bypasses a rejected Custom Hook. On revision publish endpoints, it can also force-publish an out-of-date draft when the caller has Bypass draft approvals access.

skipSchemaValidation

boolean

Set to true to publish despite schema validation errors, failed invariants, or schema changes that invalidate dependent resources. This does not bypass a rejected Custom Hook; use skipHooks for that. The caller must have Bypass draft approvals access for Feature Flags, Configs, and Constants in every Project. Otherwise, this field is ignored.

skipHooks

boolean

Set to true to publish despite a Custom Hook rejection. This does not bypass schema validation; use skipSchemaValidation for that. The caller must have Bypass draft approvals access for Feature Flags, Configs, and Constants in every Project. Otherwise, this field is ignored.

Response

200 - application/json

Resource created

feature

object

required

Show child attributes

bypassedGates

object[]

Gates that would have blocked this publish but were bypassed by the caller's authority. Present only when at least one gate was bypassed.
