nCino RBC Deployment Rollback

Introduction

Rollbacks are an indispensable pillar in the realm of systems that undergo continuous evolution. They provide a safety net, enabling you to revert to a known, stable state if something goes wrong.

This feature allows users to perform a rollback of the deployments—if rollbacks were enabled when creating the deployments.
