Delete/Remove old versions of documents

[ddenev]

Hi,

Why is it not possible to delete old versions of documents? Will this be added as a feature soon? thank you.

It looks like you can delete content.    I found threads in this forum discussing the finer implementation details of how to configure it.

For example:

уell i'll have a deeper look at this but i was looking more for how to do this from the web gui

Hi,

Almost year and a half after the initial post has passed but I still cannot find a way to remove individual previous versions of documents. Is this feature still not implemented or am I failing to find it? Thank you.

Best regards

Dear Alfresco Team,

Could you please answer the question? Thank you.

Best regards

Isnt that option in the user profile link?
I cant remember the exact name of the link, but in the user icon next to the admin console (top), isnt there the option you are looking for?

The option you are referring to is for purging deleted content. What I need is to be able to delete selected previous versions of content that is versionable.

It's not perfect, but if I want to remove all the old versions for a document, I do the following:

1. View document's details page
2. Manage aspects
3. Remove the versionable aspect
See now, there are no versions

If you want the doc to continue to be versionable:
4. Manage aspects
5. Add the versionable aspect back in
See, there are still no versions

Obv it only works for a single doc.

Hello.

The support for deleting individual versions is already implemented in repository:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15739458/delete-specific-version-of-document-in-alfresco
http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/service/cmr/version/VersionServic...

So, you should implement:
- web script, that deletes specified version of specified document
- UI in Alfresco Share, that calls this web script

Hope, this helps.
