Understanding the Removal Process

Catalog Management allows catalog managers and partners to load and maintain several different versions of a partner's data. Once a version is selected for production, all other versions are stored but not used again. The remove Unused Versions feature provides a way for the catalog manager to remove these unused partner versions.

Important:

Remove means deleting all the partner data. Once removed, the partner version cannot be retrieved.
