But things may get worse when some updates break your current workflow. + +Whether a Flatpak package or Snap, everything breaks at some point when there is an issue. Being a sandboxed packaging solution, it may not affect the entire system, but if you encounter a bug that makes your app experience worse, you may regret the update. + +For example, the previous update of [Black Box][1] was bundled with certain bugs, and I could not select text! Developers have solved this issue now, but until they did not, I downgraded that specific package to make things work. + +So, if you want to downgrade a specific app installed as a Flatpak, you can follow this guide. + +### Downgrade Flatpak packages in Linux + +**Disclaimer:** Unlike installing Flatpaks, you need **sudo** privileges to downgrade Flatpak packages.

Downgrade the Flatpack package + +Once you follow the first two steps, you should have the following: + +- Application ID of the package. +- Commit code of preferred older release. + +Now, you have to put them in the following command: + +``` +sudo flatpak update --commit= +``` + +As I’m downgrading Black Box to the previous release, I’ll be using the following command: + +``` +sudo flatpak update --commit=c4ef3f4be655cbe2559451a9ef5977ab28139c54bb5adbd7db812f3482bd0db5 com.raggesilver.BlackBox +``` + +![downgrade flatpak package in linux][6] + +And that’s it! + +To check whether you have successfully downgraded the package, you can list the packages that need to be updated (considering everything else is up-to-date).
