You could, but you would have to specify the exact commit hash in your app.yml file.

In `app.yml` uncomment

```
#version: tests-passed

```

and replace tests-passed with the commit hash something like

```
version: f7a335a64e7146166d5fdaedcfee816997f2822d

```

You can find the commit hash in github if you click on the commit that you want.

How can find necessary commit ?  
For example, I have version 2.4.0 beta2 and want to stay on this version.

Go to github and look at tags and you can choose the one for the version you want.
