Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

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 command delete-library-versions. Single old versions can also be deleted directly from the Library user interface.

About this task

Note: With version history enabled, there is a risk that data that should have been removed remains in the library, in an older version of the analysis. For example, if a piece of sensitive data by mistake gets embedded into an analysis and later is removed, the old versions of the analysis that contain the sensitive data should also be deleted.

See Deleting library item versions using the command line, and the reference topic for delete-library-versions for details about the CLI command.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Spotfire Server web administration pages and click Library.
  2. Browse or search for the file for which to delete versions.
  3. Right-click the row of the item and select View version history, or open the details panel and click Version history.
  4. In the Version history list to the right, right-click on the version you want to revert to, and select Delete.
