Managing Versions / Version Actions

Version Actions

The Actions section on the version settings page provides three version management operations.

Unpublish a version

Click Unpublish to remove the version from public access. Unpublished versions:

  • Are not accessible to end users
  • Do not appear in chat widgets or documentation sites
  • Can still be accessed by project administrators
  • Retain all sources and settings

To republish, you'll need to set the version as published again through the version actions.

Duplicate a version

Click Duplicate to create a copy of the current version. This operation:

  • Creates a new version with a copied title (e.g., "v1 (copy)")
  • Copies all sources from the original version
  • Generates a new handle based on the copied title
  • Leaves the duplicate unpublished by default

Use duplication when you want to:

  • Test changes without affecting the live version
  • Create a new version based on existing content
  • Maintain historical snapshots of your documentation

Delete a version

Click Delete Version to permanently remove the version. This action:

  • Removes all sources associated with the version
  • Deletes all source references and processed content
  • Cannot be undone

Warning: You cannot delete a version that is set as the default version. Remove the default status first by setting another version as default.

Status messages

After performing an action, a status message appears in the Actions section to confirm the operation or report any errors.
