Restore agent settings
Review the way back before changing your setup.
Trying a shared Hub should come with a clear recovery path. Hub records managed originals and write history, then checks current files before undoing changes. Choose the recovery scope that matches what you want to reverse.
Recovery depends on saved originals. Multi-file rollback is compensating, not power-loss-safe.
Pick the right recovery scope.
Undo one setup workflow
ahub undo previews a recorded quick or project-connect run. It can handle completed stages of a partially failed workflow, while protecting later edits.
Restore one stage
A recorded backup ID can restore one managed sync or content operation. Check its preview when later unrelated work needs to stay in place.
Reset to the first baseline
ahub reset --dry-run shows the return to the first recorded state. That is an existing-Hub checkpoint or absence before Hub creation, not an unknown earlier past.
Inspect, preserve, then confirm.
Keep recovery storage
Retain the private sibling recovery directory. It contains originals, write records and archives needed for guarded recovery and may contain credentials.
Review the scope and current files
Choose undo, restore or reset and read the preview. Later edits, invalid ownership or missing baseline data can block an unsafe rollback.
Apply and check native clients
Use the fresh reviewed confirmation or emitted command. Inspect the outcome and restart affected clients. Keep archived current data until you are satisfied.
Before you start
Does uninstalling the CLI restore client settings?
No. Uninstall removes the package binaries. It does not automatically restore native configurations, remove every launcher or delete the saved archive.
Does reset erase all work since setup?
Reset archives current managed state before restoration, but its scope can include the whole Hub. Read the complete plan and preserve recovery storage; a missing baseline cannot be recreated as the original.
Preview the way back while the setup is still small.
The recovery guide covers later edits, interrupted writes, baseline scopes, archives and the difference between restore and uninstall.
