How do I delete or re-arrange versions of a design?

[lemelman]

I have a design that has been through a number of updates - it's now up to V32, but as a result of some unknown accidental error, V32 is 'screwed' so badly that it can't be rectified. I discovered that V30 is fine. I don't know where versions 31 and 32 came from and I don't want them, so how can I get rid of them? I'm fairly certain there's a way to promote an old version to make it the latest, but I can't find how to do it.

I can open V30 but the save option is greyed out, even if I make a slight change, instead I get a message saying there is a later version available.

Please help.

You cannot delete old versions.  Take a look at the Screencast to see the process of making an older version the current version.

Hi John,

Thank you, that worked fine.

Is my memory playing tricks? I feel certain that once-upon-a-time I saw something that mentioned clicking the version id in the data panel brought up a little window containing options, one of which was 'promote to current'. But then again, I'm getting old.

Yes, your memory is correct.  That process and icons were removed a few updates ago.

Why on earth did they remove that very useful facility?
