Reverting a Release published to usds.gov

Steve Mattingly edited this page Feb 9, 2023 · 3 revisions

Background

In a situation where the content placed on usds.gov through this process is problematic for some reason, the following steps will change usds.gov back to the previously published Release.

Remember that https://usds.gov/ref.txt can be used to determine what Release is currently on the site.

Instructions

Click the Actions tab near the top of any page in this repository.


Now you will run the action named "Revert to preceding release publication".

1. Click the action's name in the left sidebar.

2. Click the gray Run workflow button and a dropdown appears.

3. Click the green Run workflow button and the process begins. Do not change the Branch setting to anything but master.

This will start automation that puts the contents of the second most recently published Release onto usds.gov. The process typically takes about 90 seconds.
