Appian Direct Deploy Rollback - Best Practices

Hi. We need more precise information regarding advice and best practices for doing a rollback / reverting a direct deploy. We intend to do a big deploy which restructures a lot of tables, processes, rule expressions and interfaces. We want to have a rollback plan if anything goes wrong, but i dont find any option in the deploy panel for rollbacks or reverts.

any info is welcomed.

My best suggestion is to do an export of the current version of your app from the target environment.  There isn't "rollback" functionality per se, but for almost every object type you should be able to deploy a backup export of the older version over top of the updated version and everything will iterate "back" to the original state.

And do a full database backup before deployment.
