This is the best advice ever!
I accidentally installed Sonoma OVER my Ventura instead of on a separate partition, and now I have to reformat my entire MBP to get back to Ventura. This is a great workaround to push some app updates.

@endecotp While I agree wholeheartedly with your comment, the links provided directly link to installer files on Apple's swcdn.apple.com website.
e.g. https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/…………/InstallAssistant.pkg
So it feels rather safe.
Still it would have been MUCH NICER if Apple provided these links directly. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I've been re-installing Ventura over a Sonoma beta TWICE now, which is a p.i.t.a., as you have to WIPE your whole disk (make good backups!!!)
