1.3.3.6.6.9.  Cleanup versions

The Purge versions [Cleanup versions] function can be used to remove old catalog versions that are no longer required from the directory tree.

If catalogs are renewed through updates in the course of time, the existing catalog data are not deleted, but rather receive a time stamp add-on in their file attachment, which stands for the respective version of the catalog (see image below).

The higher the number, the newer the catalog status.

You can call up Clean up versions [Cleanup versions] either via commands or via the context menu of the catalog.

In the following the single functions will be explained.

All older catalog versions will be deleted except for the newest ones
