# Rollback or downgrade Vault plugins
Downgrading a plugin in the catalog affects all uses of that plugin version.
Always check the plugin release notes for unsupported transitions before
starting your rollback or downgrade.
## Before you start
- **To register and downgrade official enterprise plugins, you must have Vault v1.16.21+,
1.17.17+, 1.18.10+, 1.19.4+, or 1.20.x+**.
- **To register and downgrade official community plugins with an extracted `.zip` file, you must have
Vault v1.16.21+, 1.17.17+, 1.18.10+, 1.19.5+, or 1.20.x+**.
@include 'plugins/common-requirements.mdx'
## Step 1: Prepare the plugin
@include 'plugins/prepare-plugin.mdx'
## Step 2: Update the plugin catalog
Register the replacement plugin binary or zip file with the old version number
under the same plugin type and name as the existing plugin version.
@include 'plugins/register.mdx'
## Step 3: Pin and reload the plugin
Until you reload the plugin, Vault continues running the current plugin version
on the mount path. When you trigger a reload, Vault kills the active plugin
process and start a new plugin process with the pinned version of that plugin.
@include 'plugins/pin-and-reload.mdx'
## Step 4: Verify the plugin status
@include 'plugins/verify-status.mdx'
