Delete a Version

[Kiran]

Hi,

I am using SourceGear Vault Client 2.0.6.

A file was checked out by an user. I made a mistake:( and this is that

I opened history of that file, it showed 2 versions and checked out by that user presently.

I right clicked on Version 1 and clicked rollback, it actually created a version 3 now. So is there any way so that I can delete this version 3 and make how it was earlier.(2 versions)

Pls help

Thanks
Kiran

Vault tracks every change.

To set the contents of a file to a different version, simply use rollback. In other words, to get back rollback the current version to version 2.

Hi Jeff Clausius

In that case there will be totally 4 versions. Is there any way so that you will delete version 3 (current) and to have only 2 versions.

Thanks

Sorry no. Vault is a version control tool, so it stresses the value of keeping ALL historical changes to any given file.

Hi,

If a file is checked out by an user, usually another user can't check out that file or can't make modifications to that file.

A file was checked out by an user, now I can roll back that file to any version. This should not happen bcoz that file has been checked out by an user.

Thanks

Kiran,

The way Vault's rollback works is that it creates a new version whose contents exactly match the version that you rolled back to. So when the rollback created version 3, the contents of the file will be the same as version 1.
