When should I revert unsuccessful changes?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling with understanding the precise timing and methodology for rolling back unsuccessful changes in my online store. I've implemented various updates to my product pages, pricing strategies, and promotional campaigns, but sometimes these changes don't yield the expected results. I need a systematic approach to recognize when a change is truly underperforming and how to efficiently revert it without disrupting my store's overall performance or customer experience.
