# Downgrading the plugin

> Understand the risks and high-level process involved in downgrading the BigBlueButton Moodle plugin.

Downgrading the Moodle plugin is possible, but it is risky and should be done carefully.

## Before you downgrade

At minimum:

* back up the plugin code
* back up the plugin database tables
* confirm the exact plugin version you want to return to
* understand that data created after the upgrade may be lost during a rollback

## Typical downgrade model

The older guidance for downgrading relied on:

1. restoring the older plugin code
2. updating stored plugin version values
3. restoring backed-up database tables
4. letting Moodle reconcile the database again

## Strong recommendation

Do not attempt a downgrade first in production. Test the full rollback path in a staging environment before changing a live Moodle site.
