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:
- The selected draft version becomes published (production)
- The previously published version is archived automatically
- 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​
- Open the prompt from the prompt list
- Select the draft version you want to promote
- Click Promote
- Optionally add promotion notes (e.g., "Improved tone for enterprise customers")
- Confirm the promotion
The version status changes from draft to published, and the previous production version (if any) is archived.
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:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Version | Which version was promoted |
| Promoted by | The user who performed the promotion |
| Promoted at | Timestamp of the promotion |
| Previous version | Which version was in production before |
| Notes | Optional changelog or reason for the promotion |
To view promotion history:
- Open the prompt
- 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:
- Open the prompt's promotion history
- Find the version you want to restore
- If the version is archived, unarchive it first to return it to draft status
- Promote the restored version
There is no dedicated "rollback" button. Rolling back is simply promoting a previous version again. This keeps the promotion history linear and auditable.
