How to view and restore an action version in ActionJail

The action editor keeps a history of code, parameter and documentation versions for the last 180 days: who changed what and when. You can compare an older version with the current one and restore it in one click.

When this helps

An action behaves differently after an edit and you need to see what changed.
You need to bring the code, parameters or documentation back to an earlier version.

Good to know

A version is a change of the code (Code), the JSON config (Parameters) or the documentation. Title, description and group are not part of a version.
The history lives in the settings log. If the log is disabled there is no history; the drawer says so.
Versions are kept for 180 days from the last change; older ones disappear.
Saving again without changes does not create a version.
A restore does not change the action state (active, bot list): a disabled action stays disabled.
Tokens in the code, parameters and documentation are masked in the history (••••••). Only known patterns are covered (Authorization headers, api_key, client_secret, and similar); a token stored in a variable with an arbitrary name or under a quoted key ('api_key': '…') is not detected. The current token is still visible in the editor, so it is safer to keep tokens in Instance credentials. A restore brings back the real code, not the masked one.
A deleted action cannot be restored and its history is not shown.

Before you start

Menu -> ActionJail is open and a custom (not system) action is selected.
You can save actions: there is no separate permission for the history.

Step by step

Open the action and click History next to Make your copy.
Find the version in the list (newest first): date, author, source (Editor, API, Agent, MCP, Marketplace, System) and what changed.
Compare with current shows the difference between the version and the current state; Compare with previous shows what this version changed.
Click Restore. Review the difference and, if shown, the notice "Changed N time(s) after this version".
Confirm. A "Version restored" message appears, the history refreshes and gets a new entry "Restored from the version of ...".

What happens next

The code, parameters and documentation become those of the chosen version; the action goes through the same checks as Save.
Unsaved editor changes are lost.
A "Change outside history" row means the action was changed while the log was disabled. A "State before the first recorded change" row lets you bring back the code that existed before the first record.

How to check it worked

The list has a new entry marked Current and "Restored from the version of ...".
Running the action test gives the old version result.

If it does not work

"The action changed meanwhile": refresh the history and try again.
"This version cannot be restored automatically": the entry predates the history; copy what you need manually.
The dialog shows a validation error: the old code violates current ActionJail security rules and cannot be restored.
