Hello,

 

I have a question about how cB is dealing with Documents Versions in Documents bookmark, when limit of version has been changed.

 

In example - we have a file, that have 38 versions stored in cB. The Max. Versions attribute has been changed to 5 versions limit. What will happen with older versions? There will be removed from physical repository on cB server?

Thank you for your help.

I've found some information for your question.

If you change the value of Max. Versions to a smaller value, the versions excluded by the change will be permanently deleted, so you won't be able to restore and see them again, even after setting back to larger value.

Hi @PW_10729315,

 

Where can you set the limit of the document version?

Could you send a step-by-step description about it, please?
