Hi @kochar

The dataset can be recovered back to an earlier version easily. This is how you can do it.

  1. Click on Edit Dataset to get into your dataset edit page

  2. Click on the Manage button

Unfortunately, I do not see such an option for the Analysis. There is some feature released to revert dashboard to previous version; but that is available if you have subscribed to Amazon Q. For now you may need to do some work to get your analysis to the older version.

I generally do the following when I work on changes to dashboards.

  • I duplicate my analysis analysis and add a suffix " - Draft" to it
  • After making the changes I publish this analysis as a dashboard with " - Draft" suffix.
  • Once it goes through review and passed; I replace the original dashboard.
  • I then deleted the older analysis and remove the " - Draft" suffix from the analysis; making it the latest version

Giri

Hi @kochar,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you, did you have any additional questions regarding your post?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.

Thank you!
