Currently, I am working in a FAQ bot, I have to include QnA pair each time when I get a new question related to the particular topic. Is it possible to revert to previous version if a particular QnA pair is not needed? This is the case, If I have added some hundred QnA pairs and I don't want it, Can I revert to previous version. From the QnA maker versioning its saying its not possible. As this is an earlier post, still that feature not present or in future there is a plan to include?

Also I know .tsv,.csv etc can be uploaded each time. Is there a provision to revert to previous version of QnA pair in QnA maker?

Short answer:

No, it has not changed since 2017. For plans to include it, I don't know, and there is no "iteration" or "version" in QnA Maker app.

Long answer:

But with some development, you can handle it.

You can see the list of API methods available for QnA Maker knowledge base management: https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/5a93fcf85b4ccd136866eb37/

In particular, you can focus on Update Knowledgebase method here: as you can see in its body sample, there is a delete block:

{
  "add": {
    "qnaList": [],
    "urls": [],
    "files": []
  },
  "delete": {
    "ids": [
      4,
      13,
      35
    ],
    "sources": [
      "Custom Editorial"
    ]
  },
  "update": { ... }
}

So you can use this method to "rollback" the entries that you added previously.

But be careful, because you have to use the id fields and they are not matching the id field used when you are using add.

Also I know .tsv,.csv etc can be uploaded each time. Is there a provision to revert to previous version of QnA pair in QnA maker?

That may be a good option for quick rollback, if you save your KB every time before a modification, because you will not need to process the ID as mentioned above.
