Is it possible to downgrade vscode *insiders* / download older insider builds?

I'm using Visual Studio Code Insiders builds. I'd like to downgrade it, because the latest one has a major regression.

Unfortunately there are no links to older versions on insiders download page, only the most recent one is available. How to donwload old version of vscode insiders?

The links from relevant github issue no longer work.

You can download an appropriate version via direct URL

  • first, go to https://code.visualstudio.com/updates and find the version you want
  • on top of the page you'll have links to various platforms: Downloads: Windows: User System ARM | Mac: Universal 64 bit Arm64 | Linux: deb rpm tarball ARM snap - right click the appropriate link, and choose "Copy Link Address" from the menu
  • replace stable at the end with insider, and append -insider after the version.

For example, universal MacOS package:

// stable
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.61.0/darwin-universal/stable

// insiders
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.61.0-insider/darwin-universal/insider

Note: not all stable builds have an insiders equivalent, you may need to use 1.x.0 to find the insider build.
