“Can we go back to version 1?”
What they really mean: We have gone in a circle and I'd like to forget it.

Subject: Re: Reverting to version 1
Hi [Name],
No problem, I've kept every version. I've attached version 1 so you can pick up from there.
Because this is a step back, I'd like to confirm how it fits the revision rounds in our agreement. If you share what you want to keep from the later versions, I can fold it in so we don't lose that progress.
Best,
[Your name]
Before you send
- Replace every [bracket] with real details: the client's name, your fee, number of revisions, dates.
- Check it against your quote or contract. The reply is strongest when it points to what you both agreed.
- Match the tone to the relationship. For a long-term client, soften the second paragraph. For a repeat offender, keep it as is.
