Restoring a Previous Version
If after republishing your production script the changes are an issue on your website, you have the ability to restore to a previous version of the production script within the application.
To restore or download a previous version of a script
-
On the menu, select . The Scripts screen appears.
-
Select the domain you want to restore to a previously published version.
-
Navigate to the History tab.
-
Hover over the row of a production script until the Context Menu icon 
appears.
-
Click the Context Menu icon. The menu appears.
-
Select or . A confirmation modal appears.
-
Configure the Require users to re-consent setting. If you enable the setting, consent will be cleared for your website users. Every user will be prompted to re-consent after 24 hours.
-
Click the Confirm button. Your script is reverted to the selected version.
If you choose to Download, the previously published script will be downloaded just like if you use Download to Local in the pane.
Note
You will not need to alter the script on your website if you have only changed template, geolocation, or cookie categorization configuration.
If your most recent publish only involved enabling Auto-Blocking or changed the Enable Language Detection on Scripts to Determine the language from HTML page, you will not need to restore your script. All you will need to do is remove the added Auto-Blocking Script or data document attribute.
Choosing a Script Version to Publish
The Choose a script version to publish feature allows to you to publish configuration to a previous OneTrust version.
When publishing a script to an older version than the current OneTrust version (e.g., if OneTrust is on 202503.2.0, but you want to publish your script to the 202503.1.0 version), you will not be able to utilize any of the new features or bug fixes that were released with the most recent version of OneTrust (any features released with 202503.2.0).
If selecting an older version, there will be a list of features that are incompatible for the selected publish version. These features will still be able to be configured in the Cookie Consent application, but the script will not be able to use those features if publishing to an older version.
If you’re updating to a newer version of the script than your current published version, you’re going to be getting all the latest and greatest features and bug fixes. Additionally, with these new features and bug fixes, there may be some changes that could affect the custom CSS or custom JavaScript on your site. Thus, we recommend going to the test script and publishing the test script to the newer version and testing those changes before publishing to production. Additionally in the publish panel, there is a link to the release notes for you to be able to review changes before publishing.
Support to publish to a particular script version will last a minimum of four releases after that release. For example, when OneTrust releases 202503.2.0, this means that you will be able to publish to the 202503.2.0 version of the script until and including OneTrust releases the 202506.1.0 version (at a minimum).
If you have any concerns about publishing with a new script version, utilize the Testing CDN to test prior to publishing to production.
