Published Oct 17, 2025

Delete a historical version. This does not delete the changes made to the content in that version, rather the changes for the deleted version are rolled up into the next version. Note, you cannot delete the current version. **[Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/_AozKw) required**: Permission to update the content.
