When multiple people collaborate on an agent — or when you're iterating on an agent's rules over time — it's easy to lose track of what changed and when. If an agent starts behaving unexpectedly, you might not know whether a recent rules edit is the cause, or what the rules looked like before.
elvex keeps a full version history of every agent's rules, so you can review past versions, see exactly what changed, and roll back to a previous version if needed.
You might need this when:
An agent's responses have changed unexpectedly and you want to identify what rules were modified
You made an edit that didn't work as intended and want to restore a previous version
You want to audit who changed an agent's rules and when
You're comparing two versions of an agent's rules to understand what was different
How to view an agent's rule history
Open the agent you want to inspect and navigate to its configuration page
Go to the Overview > Rules section
Click the Version History control to open the rule history panel
Browse the list of saved versions. Each entry shows the date and time it was saved
Click any version to view the rules as they were at that point in time
Comparing versions
When you select a historical version, elvex displays a diff showing exactly what was added, changed, or removed between that version and the current rules. This makes it easy to pinpoint a specific change without reading through the entire ruleset.
How to revert to a previous version
Open the rule history panel and select the version you want to restore
Review the rules to confirm it's the version you want
Click Restore to apply that version as the current rules
Save the agent to confirm the revert
Note: Reverting and saving creates a new entry in the history. Previous versions are never overwritten or deleted.
Common Questions
How far back does the history go?
elvex stores all saved versions of an agent's rules from the time the agent was created. There is no limit on how far back you can browse.
Who can view rule history?
Rule history is available to any user with edit access to the agent. Users with viewer-only access cannot see the history panel.
Does reverting count as a new version?
Yes — when you revert to a previous version and save, that save is recorded as a new entry in the history. This means you can always undo a revert by going back to the history and selecting the version before it.
