Version Purging and Versions confusion

Question

I am setting up my version purging configuration setting in AEM 5.6.1

Regarding the version created on activation(enabled in configMgr), is this different from the version we create on purpose (using the sidekick) ?

The reason I am asking this question is we are setting a version limit to 5 and number of days to 30 using the version manager settings in /systems/console/configMgr.

I do not want the version created on activation to replace my saved versions from the sidekick.

Also we have multiple projects, is there anyway we can change the version purging settings based on a project/site ?

Lack of documentation from adobe on this important topic is really frustrating.

Any insight or direction on this will be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi techno2011No, both kind of versions (the ones created by the user and the ones created by the system itself during activation) are from the same type, and the version purge service cannot distinct one from each other. Therefor I will treat all the same and purge both.If you want to handle it differently, you would need to implement a dedicated purging service, which can somehow distinct versions created by the user from the versions created during activation.I would suggest you also raise a Daycare ticket regarding this topic as feature request.Jörg
