How do you view an Application's sync history and roll back to a prior revision?

Intermediate

Answer

Use `argocd app history <app>` to list previously synced revisions with IDs, and `argocd app rollback <app> <id>` to sync back to one. The durable GitOps approach is reverting in Git, but history rollback is useful for quick recovery to a known-good synced state.
argocd app history web
argocd app rollback web 12
Real-world example After a bad sync, the operator rolls back to history id 12 to restore service, then reverts in Git.

Common follow-ups: Where is history stored? | Why also revert in Git after a rollback?
