Delete a document version
If you upload a version of a document by mistake, or a version is no longer needed, you can delete the version and maintain the original document.
Keep the following in mind when you consider deleting a document version:
- Only one version can be deleted at a time. If a version is deleted, this action appears in the Updates on the document .
- If you upload a new version after deleting a version, the new version receives the next sequential number. For example, if there are 3 versions of a document and you delete version 3, the next document uploaded will be version 4.
- System updates and comments made on a version are retained in Workfront after the version is deleted.
To delete a document version:
-
Go to the project, task, or issue that contains the document, then select Documents.Find the document you need.
-
In the Version area in the Summary, click the version, then click Delete in the drop-down list that appears. The Delete option is visible only if there are at least two versions.
If the document is linked to an outside source, that link is deleted and the document is no longer accessible through Workfront.
