Skill Rollback

You use this API revert your skill to a previous live version without having to resubmit the skill for manual recertification. This process helps you move between development cycles. For example, you might choose to rollback a skill if your new skill version introduced a bug or any other unintended behaviors.

For more details about how Skill Rollback operates, see Rollback a Skill. You can Rollback a skill with the developer console or the Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) Command Line Interface (CLI).
