Have versions you don't need anymore? You can delete a version in two ways from within the editor.
Authors with the default Editor or Writer role can delete article and custom content category versions. If you're using a custom role:
- To delete article versions, you'll need the Article Permission to Delete versions of articles.
- To delete custom content category versions, you'll need the Category Permission to Edit categories.
If you're currently viewing the version you'd like to delete:
- Select the triple dot Version actions menu to the right of the version in the Versions section.
Select the triple dots to open the Version actions menu. - Select Delete from the Version actions dropdown.
Select Delete from the Version actions dropdown
- A confirmation modal opens. Review the version number listed and be sure it's the version you want to delete. If it is, select OK to complete the deletion.
