Is it possible to remove all or some of the previous revisions so that the user won’t be able to install that revision of Snap? For example, I want the user to be able to install only the revision 60 of the snap. How do I do that?

It hasn’t been possible for end users to access older revisions until relatively quite recently. It’s the kind of thing where a lot of the regulars would believe you can’t!

It has changed recently, so long as a snap revision was on “stable” one, any user who knows its revision ID can now download it, but this genuinely has only been the case for 12 months and probably less.

I don’t think you’d be able to control this on your side. It’d be worth moving this to the store or store-requests categories (probably store for now, this might be an unactionable request) so the team can provide input on whether they can override this to the older behaviour for you.

But in general, I’d expect 99.9% of your users simply do not know you can.
