Deleting a file attachment or document reference

When you delete a file attachment, the file is permanently removed from the system and is not available in historical versions of the artifact. However, when you delete a document reference, the reference is removed but the document artifact remains available in the system.

To delete a file attachment or document reference:

  1. ClosedOpen the artifact that contains the file attachment or document reference.

    Click the artifact ID link of the artifact you want to open.

  2. ClosedOpen the files tab in the utility panel.

    Click the files tab icon.

  3. ClosedRight-click the file attachment or document reference that you want to delete.

    The context menu appears.

  4. ClosedClick Delete.

Note: You must publish the artifact before your changes are viewable by other users.
