Heya, I want to download some older versions of my game, however using the version history may not work for me as i do not want to revert it to that version i just want to download it, reverting may cause issues with my datastores i have in that game and i would rather not have that happen.
However, i only see a restore button and no download button or anything, is there some sort of way to download instead of revert?
Sorry, but no there is not. Reverting your place creates a new entry I believe and then you can download the game. After that you can revert it to the previous version.
Note: I am not sure if it will actually create a new entry or overwrite the latest one because I never tried it.
Well, i have found out there is a way to achieve what im trying to do lol, ill put it here for those who are wondering the same thing
I managed to do this by fiddling with some apis, which i had done in the past to grab raw textures of assets so i thought i could grab a place aswell and i was correct!
So first, grab the place id and version number you wanna revert to,
then once you have done that you need to use the asset delivery api to grab your place, however for some reason the api likes to have a bunch of unnecessary data so its easier just to add what you want to the url so for example if you were to go to this url:
https://assetdelivery.roblox.com/v1/asset/?id=1234567890&version=2
Assuming you have permission to edit the place 1234567890 you will be able to download the second version of it, infact it should automatically download it, but it will appear as a blank icon to fix that turn on file extensions then rename it to whatever.rbxl you can replace whatever with anything.
And i have confirmed this doesn’t rollback anything 
(as the downloaded file is local)
Oh wow you’re a genius!
I didn’t quite get it. A second version of a version entry?
so if you were to type number 2 into as the version in the url, it would grab the second from the version history and start a download of that then you can add the .rblx file extension then open it like normal
As you can see here this is where you would get the version id
Ok, thanks a lot! I always wanted to see how it was my game back then!
if nobody has done it already i may make this a community tutorial, seems handy to know
the browser extension “BTRoblox” has a feature that adds a download button to each version of your place.
