Deleting a revision or a draft

You can delete drafts and revisions as follows:

  • Deleting drafts—When you start a new asset, every time you click , Brightspot creates a new draft. You can delete any draft.
  • Deleting revisions—When you start a new revision, and every time you click while working on the revision, Brightspot saves a draft of the revision. You can delete any draft of a revision.

The drafts and revisions you can delete appear with a yellow circle in the Version History widget (In versions prior to v4.8, this widget is named the Revisions widget).

Drafts and revisions you cannot delete include the following:

  • A draft that entered a workflow.
