Chapter 3 Working with Repository Documents

Deleting document versions

There are various ways to delete the most recent version of a document in the current branch.

Right-click a frozen document and select the Delete Version command.
Use the Delete tool on the property sheet of a:
- document (Versions tab)

- configuration (Members tab – multiselection available)

WARNING!

Caution
Deleting a version cannot be undone.

You must have the Full permission to delete a document version. You cannot delete any but the most recent version. When you delete a version, you delete the objects it contains.

Shortcuts
When you delete a version, you may delete the target objects of shortcuts in other models; however these target objects are likely to exist in the versions following the deleted version. This has no impact in the repository, links between shortcuts and target objects are re-build after a check out, in the local workspace.

Delete all versions of a document

To delete all versions of a document in all repository branches, right-click the document and select Delete Document. This action cannot be undone.
