Version Cleanup

With the Version Cleanup pluging a system task deletes outdated versions. The following configurations are possible:

• Filter expression (see Search Util 2) to define the scope. If no filter is defined, all assets will be processed.
• Rules (can be combined):
  • Number of Version: Only the most recent n versions are retained; all older versions are deleted.
  • Days: Any version with a version date older than x days is deleted.
• Additionally, you can define that the base version is never deleted.

The current version is never deleted.

versionCleanup.activeFilters.1.type=DAY
versionCleanup.activeFilters.1.value=180
