# Name

`nix-env --rollback` - set user environment to previous generation

# Synopsis

`nix-env` `--rollback`

# Description

This operation switches to the “previous” generation of the active
profile, that is, the highest numbered generation lower than the current
generation, if it exists. It is just a convenience wrapper around
`--list-generations` and `--switch-generation`.
