## Rolling back
Environment variables can be rolled back to any point in time via the "Rollback to this snapshot" button.
Secrets can be rolled back to any point in time via the "Rollback to this snapshot" button. This will roll back the changes within the given [folder](./folder) and environment to the chosen time.
It's important to note that this rollback action is localized and does not affect other folders within the same environment. This means each [folder](./folder) maintains its own independent history of changes, offering precise and isolated control over rollback actions.
In essence, every [folder](./folder) possesses a distinct and separate timeline, providing granular control when managing your secrets.

Rolling back environment variables to a past snapshot creates a new commit and
snapshot at the top of the stack and updates secret versions.

## Folders
Any folder operation, such as creating, updating, or deleting a folder, will create a new commit.
When you roll back the contents of a folder, the folder will be restored to its latest snapshot. The nested folders will also be restored to their respective latest versions.
