[vocal orchid]

Hi how can I downgrade/reverse my OpenClaw version? (I mean after an update, for example if I dont like the behaviour of the new version)

Yep — you can roll back, but do it deliberately because older versions may not understand config/state migrations from newer versions.

First check what you’re on:

openclaw --version
openclaw update status

For a normal packaged install, you can target a specific version:

openclaw update --tag <version>
openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway restart

If you installed globally with pnpm and want to pin manually:

pnpm add -g openclaw@<version>
openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway restart

If you installed from source/git, pin a tag or commit instead:

cd ~/openclaw   # or wherever your checkout is
git fetch origin --tags
git checkout <tag-or-commit>
pnpm install
pnpm build
