Manage Old Media Editor

Manage old media is a tool within Designer that allows the user to generate a list of unused versioned media within the project and archive it. As this tool only works specifically with versioned content files, it is generally used to cleanup the project and remove ‘old’ versions of content that are no longer used.

Versioned content uses tags such as “File_v1” or “File_20170602a”. For more information, please refer to the Content Versioning topic.
