cc:/ @pchila @jillguyonnet @nimarezainia, your early comments are welcome. |

@karenzone the content looks good to me. Could the "Roll back an Elastic Agent upgrade for Fleet Managed agents" section have a larger font size so it's at the same hierarchical level as "Update RPM and DEB system packages" - currently it feels as though it's part of the RPM and DEB section. |

Left a couple of suggestion (minor rewording which makes the content clearer, I hope)
Left a question about the Fleet API endpoint to use in order to rollback a single agent since it doesn't look right to me.

Do we already have links to the API reference? Probably not a huge deal if not in this case since there are no options, but bulk endpoints expect agents in the request body (either a list of agent ids or a query string, see e.g. bulk migrate), making that explicit could be helpful.

If I'm reading this correctly, you are asking if we have documented rollbacks in the API docs. We have not. If that's what you are suggesting, we can open an issue for follow up.
