Roll back an AI change or fix a failed task
The AI broke something or a task failed. What now?
Open the task and click Rollback to restore the files from the backup taken before it applied; failed tasks never changed your server.
Before you start: The AI Builder tab.
Step by step
- Open the task from History and read "What went wrong" or the summary.
- Failed before applying (validation failed, cancelled, timed out): nothing changed. Try a clearer or smaller request.
- Applied but wrong: click Rollback. The files return to their state before this task, and the server reloads or restarts the same way.
- If later AI tasks changed the same files, roll those back first (newest first).
- If you edited the files by hand since, Rollback asks before overwriting your edits.
- If the server did not come back after a restart, CoreX rolls back automatically (unless you turned that off in AI Settings).
Check it worked: The task shows "Rolled back" and the server works as before.
Why it happens: Every change is validated and backed up before it is applied.
If rollback reports the backup is missing, restore a regular backup from the Backups tab.
