Purge Items from the Vault Client

Purge item versions in a vault based on the item's lifecycle state control settings.

Note: Items are available in Vault Professional.

When a lifecycle state is created, the administrator must identify which item and file versions in that state are retained during a purge.

For example, a lifecycle state can be defined so that all items in the Review State are purged except for the latest version when the Purge command is invoked.

Note: See Edit Lifecycle State Control Settings for more information.

If an item does not have a lifecycle assignment, the tip version of each item revision is retained and all other item versions are purged.
