Delete Forward Edits

  • URL: https://<version-url>/deleteForwardEdits(POST only)
  • Version Introduced:10.6

Description

The deleteForwardEdits operation deletes all forward edits in a specified edit session.

When a client application manages an edit session made of multiple operations and intends to support an undo/redo stack, the time stamps for each edit operation must be carefully managed.

This operation requires the same session ID and organization member that was used for the startEditing operation.

Note:

Review the read and edit session requirements for version resource operations.
