Hello,

Is there any option to restore an [updated](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/update-transform.html) transform to previous definition before the update? (source/sync etc)

thank you

It is not possible to restore the transform configuration to its previous state. Please apply further updates if applicable. Or in the UI, use the clone transform option. This allows you to create a "duplicate" of the transform - this saves configuration time in creating the transform as you can start from a point where most of the original transform settings can be easily re-used.
