Delete document versions

Document versions can grow in number over time. You may choose to delete one or more versions of a document if you no longer need them. This saves a lot of disk space and maintenance overheads.

You can delete a document's version only if:
  • you have the delete permission ('Delete/View') for documents. This is irrespective of whether you have the Document Admin permission or not.
  • the document has more than one version available.
  • the selected document version is not marked as an active version.
CAUTION:
Deleting a document's version permanently removes the version and cannot be undone. Exercise caution while deleting document versions.
  1. Click DOCUMENTS in the project navigation bar.
