Downgrading Node version in NVM Permanently

Question

I need to downgrade my node version in my ubuntu local environtment.

I have to use nvm use (version) lately to downgrade, but whenever i open a new terminal it always return to the default state.

It's not effective for me whenever i need to build my lower environtment project.

Please help me to make my life easier.

Big thanks!
