Promote to Production

Promotion is how you deploy a tested prompt version to production. Once promoted, all SDK and API consumers automatically receive the new version. This guide covers the promotion flow, history tracking, and rollback.

How Promotion Works​

Promotion is an atomic operation:

  1. The selected draft version becomes published (production)
  2. The previously published version is archived automatically
  3. The change takes effect immediately for all API and SDK consumers

There is no window where two versions are simultaneously in production. The switch is instant.

Promote a Version​

  1. Open the prompt from the prompt list
  2. Select the draft version you want to promote
  3. Click Promote
  4. Optionally add promotion notes (e.g., "Improved tone for enterprise customers")
  5. Confirm the promotion

The version status changes from draft to published, and the previous production version (if any) is archived.

tip

Always test a version before promoting it. Use the test panel to verify the output with real variable values and different models.

Promotion History​

Every promotion is recorded with:

FieldDescription
VersionWhich version was promoted
Promoted byThe user who performed the promotion
Promoted atTimestamp of the promotion
Previous versionWhich version was in production before
NotesOptional changelog or reason for the promotion

To view promotion history:

  1. Open the prompt
  2. Navigate to the Promotion History tab or section

History is sorted newest-first by default and can be filtered by user or date range.

Rolling Back​

To roll back to a previous version:

  1. Open the prompt's promotion history
  2. Find the version you want to restore
  3. If the version is archived, unarchive it first to return it to draft status
  4. Promote the restored version
info

There is no dedicated "rollback" button. Rolling back is simply promoting a previous version again. This keeps the promotion history linear and auditable.
