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.

When your library contains large files, for example, analysis files with embedded data, or files that are updated often, you might want to manage the number of versions of the file that are kept.

You can enable automatic version pruning to limit the number of unnamed versions of the library items to keep in the library. New versions are unnamed by default, and the oldest unnamed versions are removed automatically when the configured limit is exceeded. Named versions are not counted against the limit and are not automatically deleted. You can define a system-wide default and override it for specific library items. To configure automatic version pruning, see Configuring automatic pruning of library versions. To override the limit for a specific library item, see Changing version history settings for a library item.

There are plenty of opportunities to fine-tune your settings to make sure the size of your Spotfire library is kept on a reasonable level. See Deleting old versions of files in the library and Configuring automatic pruning of library versions and Deleting library item versions using the command line for more information.
