Deleted versions of a document are not moved to the Recycle Bin.

Deleting a document with versions from the Folder window will either delete or send all versions of that document to the Recycle Bin depending on the properties chosen for that Cabinet.

 

Tip:

Converted documents with multiple versions will store the original versions in their original format only the latest version will be converted to PDF.
