Removing a descendant

When you remove a descendant, you also remove its descendants from the virtual document. When you remove a descendant from a virtual document, the descendant’s parent document will be checked out for you if it is not already checked out. You must have at least Version permission for the parent document from which you are removing a descendant. Removing descendants does not delete the files from the repository. It only removes the files from the virtual document structure.

To remove a descendant from a virtual document:

  1. Navigate to the virtual document.

  2. View the structure of the virtual document. (For details on viewing structure, see Viewing the structure of a virtual document.)

  3. For the descendant you want to remove, do one of the following, depending on the options available:

    • Select More>Tools>Remove Child.

    • Select the descendant’s checkbox and select Tools>Virtual Document>Remove Child.

  4. If the parent document is not already checked out to your computer, Webtop checks it out. If you are prompted for a checkout location, enter the necessary information.

  5. For the parent document, do one of the following, depending on the options available:

    • Select More>Tools>Save Changes.

    • Select the parent document and select Tools>Virtual Document>Save Changes.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Select your checkin options and click OK.
