Managing Versions, Items, and Paths › Delete Version Rules

Delete Version Rules

The delete version process removes the last change that is made to an item or the initial version of an item. The delete version process has the following rules:

• You can only delete the absolute latest version for an item. You cannot delete intermediate versions.
• You can delete the initial version of an item (version 0) but only if the item was initially checked in as a new item. (An administrator can delete the initial version, created by the load repository function, by using the Repositories tab of the Administrator application.)
• You can delete more than one version of an item simultaneously as long as the versions are sequential and include the latest version.
• You can use the package filter in the Find Version dialog to facilitate your selection. To delete versions from multiple items, all the versions must have been created by the same package.
• You cannot delete a version in the following scenarios:
  • When the "Delete by Creator/Modifier only" option is selected, and if you are not the administator or the creator or modifier of the version.
  • If a version exists in more than one view.

    Note: If you promote a package that created a version, demote it to the previous state before deleting the version.
