On Hub 8 Ver.29.0.6, there was an update of Notes 4.10.1 to 4.11.0 tonight. How can I revert the upgrade?
The notes list icons now take up 2X the space with huge rounded oval highlights around the note title. This moves many notes off the current page making the app less useful. 4.10.1 did not have this problem. There are no settings to control this, so I just need to go back to the last version. How do I do that?
Unfortunately, I have no experience with this. In addition, newer app versions may also require new database structures, which prevents a downgrade to an older version.
However, if you really want to risk it, you can uninstall the app and unpack the ZIP file of the previous version into the app folder. I don’t know if you then have to activate the app with occ.
Nextcloud Notes Stable 4.10:
GitHub - nextcloud/notes at stable4.10
sudo -u www-data php occ app:enable appname

Please note that this can lead to errors during the integrity check when updating Nextcloud.
As @devnull said, in theory you could download an older version from GitHub and replace the current version files in the apps folder.
However, downgrading apps is generally not supported, and if something has changed in the database or file structure since the last update, this is likely to cause issues. And even if it works in this case, there’s always a chance that future Nextcloud updates will break the app, so sooner or later you’ll likely need to upgrade the app anyways.
please look at Manual install of a nextcloud app - ꧁ⅴØɨᖙƙr4ʄߙ꧂
this is how I reverted user_oidc app app because of issues on Docker - adopt to your needs
docker compose exec app php occ app:remove user_oidc
# change into custom_apps folder (look for the app name)
sudo wget https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/user_oidc/releases/download/v1.3.5/user_oidc-v1.3.5.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf user_oidc-v1.3.5.tar.gz
sudo rm user_oidc-v1.3.5.tar.gz
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data user_oidc
docker compose exec app php occ app:enable user_oidc
#user_oidc 1.3.5 enabled
