Why each option
To roll back an app to a previous version after an update has caused issues, the correct approach is to restore a previous version of the app.
Deleting the app and recreating it from a previous version is a destructive and inefficient method, resulting in a new app ID and potential loss of historical data or settings.
Power Apps provides built-in versioning capabilities that allow makers to view the history of an application and restore any previous version. This feature directly addresses the need to quickly revert an app to a stable state without losing the app's identity or associated configurations.
Deactivating and re-importing a previous version is not the standard or most efficient method for an in-place rollback and might not correctly handle all dependencies or live user sessions.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the app for all users is a cumbersome and disruptive process compared to leveraging the native version restoration features.
