Library version history
The Spotfire library provides the ability to keep old versions of files in the library, so that you can easily revert to an older version of a file, if something goes wrong.
- Reverting to a previous version of a file
If an analysis or other type of file has become corrupted when it was modified, you can use the versioning functionality in the library to revert to a previous version of the file. You can also look at previous versions to review the library version history of a file. - Deleting old versions of files in the library
If your library grows too much, you can delete all, or some, old versions of a file using the commanddelete-library-versions
. Single old versions can also be deleted directly from the Library user interface. - Switching off library versioning
A new version of all files is by default kept each time a file is updated in the library. As an administrator, you have the option to switch off version history for your Spotfire environment. Use the command line configuration tool and setlibrary.versioning.enabled
tofalse
to disable library versioning completely. You can also choose to exclude certain item types only. - Spotfire item types
There are a number of different types of items available in the Spotfire library. They can be referred to in certain configurations, and they can also be used as arguments in different commands.
