How do you delete a review version

Not sure if I'm missing the obvious but how do you

  • Delete previous version of a module from review and just show the latest version?
  • Change the link to deny access to previous reviewers?

  • I too would like the ability to delete previous versions in review for when I share a project with a client.  As things stand, the client can review all versions of a project by clicking the versions arrow.  This does not disappear as far as I can tell when making a copy of the course--all of the versions associated with the copied-from course are visible in the new course.  Thanks!

  • Just figured something out that may help others.  Duplicating an Articulate Review course brings the review history (all previous versions of a project).  But duplicating the course itself, prior to publishing it to Articulate Review, cleans out the previous versions.  

    So if you want to send a project to clients for review but don't want them too have access to a project's previous versions:

    1. Duplicate the course.
    2. Publish the new course to Review and share this link with the client.

    Cheers!

  • Hi William,

    Thanks for popping in to share what works well for you. That's typically what we recommend as well. We hold the version history for the collaboration/feedback portion of the tool and not wanting to remove any of that historical data as the versions progress.

  • Hi

    Not so much a reply as a plea for help on a related issue...
    I have somehow managed to publish a couple versions with feedback of the same course into Reviewer is there anyway to merge the feedback all into the one most updated version of the file? Hope someone can help

    thanks Julie 

  • Hi Julie!

    You'll have two options when publishing to Articulate Review:

     

    • Create a new item: With this option, you'll create a new item in Articulate Review with a new URL. Comments on the original item won't carry over.
    • Publish a new version of an existing item: With this option, comments roll forward with each new version, so you’ll see comments for the version you selected and all versions before it. The URL to the items remains the same.

    If you want comments from the original version carry over to all new versions, you'll want to use the Publish a new version of an existing item option!

      Okay thanks for that, is it possible then to archive versions of files
      published to reviewer? Or if I delete is it permanent or can I recover
      these at a later time?

      Thanks so much in advance

        Hi there, Julie! 

        Articulate Review has folders to organize your content, and that includes the Deleted Items folder.  When you delete an item, it can't be opened or viewed.  You can restore it at any time, and version history and feedback remain intact.   Just don't empty the Deleted Items folder.  😉

    I would like to add my vote to "deleting certain versions" in Review 360.

  • Hi Camille,

    Thanks for reaching out! You can hide versions of your project by following these steps:

    1. Click a project on your dashboard to open it.
    2. Click the Version drop-down list at the top of the screen and hover over the version you want to hide. (The current version of a project can’t be hidden.)
    3. Click the eye icon to hide that version. 

    As the content owner, you have access to hidden versions, and you can unhide them by clicking the eye icon again.
