Revert change made to AWS Security Group

So our AWS is manually configured. Is there a way to revert some change that was done recently to a security group, or to see a history of changes?

Using AWS Config, you can click “Resources” on the left menu and find a resource such as Security Groups and Network ACLs using “Resource Type”. The Resource Timeline button in the upper right corner of the screen will allow you to view recent configuration changes for the resource you have selected that may have started causing issues.

I just used this to find a configuration change that resulted in downtime starting yesterday; the time seemed off but the change is presented diff-style using JSON objects and allowed me to find an IP address that was changed inadvertently.

AWS Config provides a detailed view of the configuration of AWS resources in your AWS account. This includes how the resources are related to one another and how they were configured in the past so that you can see how the configurations and relationships change over time.

However, I think that you first need to configure AWS Config to start recording the history of your resources. If you haven't activated it, then it will not be able to provide a history of changes.
