If we upload a new version of a file, where does the old version go? can we keep the record of the old version and how many the new version have been uploaded?

The old version is kept in storage unless you limited the "nr of versions to keep" (a setting on every document) in which case it might get deleted. You can see previous versions on the details/properties screen. The versions are number sequentially, so you can quickly see how many versions have been uploaded in the details/properties screen.

I changed an installation's "number of versions to keep" from -1 to 1, thinking that old versions of all docs would get deleted but they weren't. Also, looking at an individual document's properties showed that it still had -1 as the version-to-keep value. Is it true then, that only new items will have the new versions-to-keep value? I didn't see a script that would revise the versions-to-keep value for existing documents, as well as deleting old versions from the library. Maybe this is part of a scheduled task that has yet to be run?

The default is only applied to new entries. If you want to change all of them you'll need to run this in SQL: UPDATE DMX_Entries Set VersionsToKeep=1 Secondly the only time the "delete old versions" logic runs is when a new version is created. So even if you apply the above hack, you'd still need to wait until content refreshes before you are down to one version per item. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
