1 00:00:03,940 --> 00:00:05,230 [Autogenerated] hi. And this lesson, I'm 2 00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:07,240 gonna show you how to delete a major 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,460 version of a document in a document 4 00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:12,090 library. Let's go to our job descriptions 5 00:00:12,090 --> 00:00:15,430 library. And we are going to take a look 6 00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:17,240 at the accountant job description 7 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:19,530 document. We're gonna click on the show 8 00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:25,550 actions _______ here and from our menu. 9 00:00:25,550 --> 00:00:28,860 We're going to choose version history now. 10 00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:30,600 The version history, of course, will show 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,330 us how many versions of the document there 12 00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:35,680 are. And you see that there are 10. Now, 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,280 that is a lot of versions. And remember, 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,490 Although these documents are small, you 15 00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:42,190 can go over here and see they're not very 16 00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:44,350 big. It's a very small document. You could 17 00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:47,540 have huge documents, and every version is 18 00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:52,530 taking up more space in SharePoint. So it 19 00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,390 might not be a bad idea if you don't need 20 00:00:55,390 --> 00:00:57,360 all of these versions to get rid of a few 21 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,880 of them every once in a while. So we're 22 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,510 going to go and we are going to get rid of 23 00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:04,450 a few of these. Now, I know that I don't 24 00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:06,410 need version nine anymore, so I'm gonna 25 00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:08,160 hover over it. You see the little drop 26 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,050 down? I'm gonna click there and I have 27 00:01:11,050 --> 00:01:13,290 three options view restoring the lead. You 28 00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:16,240 know which one. I'm gonna choose the lead 29 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,530 and saying Are you sure you want to send 30 00:01:18,530 --> 00:01:20,930 this version to the site? Recycle bin. 31 00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:22,680 Now, remember that it's going to the 32 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,260 recycle bin. So if you accidentally 33 00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:27,480 deletes something that you need a version 34 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,240 of the document that you want to get back 35 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,560 until the recycle bin is emptied, it's 36 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,100 still gonna be there. So we're gonna 37 00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:37,260 click. Okay, now, this could take a little 38 00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:39,030 bit of time. No, there we go. That wasn't 39 00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:43,280 too bad. And now version nine is gone. I 40 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,730 know that I don't need version five, so 41 00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:47,770 I'm going to get rid of that as well. I'm 42 00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:52,670 gonna click on delete. Click. Okay. And 43 00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:55,650 you can see I'm slowly getting rid of a 44 00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:59,350 lot of these versions that I don't need. 45 00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:02,090 Yeah, we're gonna trim this down quite a 46 00:02:02,090 --> 00:02:08,620 bit. There we go. All right. So let's 47 00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:11,040 close that. And again, If we want to get 48 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,750 those versions back, we can go to the 49 00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:18,740 Recycle bin and you see, there they are, 50 00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:21,710 all of my different versions, and you 51 00:02:21,710 --> 00:02:24,230 could restore any of those if you needed 52 00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:27,770 them. So now you know how to delete a 53 00:02:27,770 --> 00:02:29,670 major version of a document in a 54 00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:40,000 SharePoint document library. Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time.
