Cascade effects of deleting objects
When you delete a logical object, version item or language item, the deletion can have an upward or downward cascade effect.
- Upward cascade effect
-
If you delete the last remaining item of a lower level, you trigger the deletion of its higher-level item. That is:
- Deleting the last remaining language item of a version triggers the deletion of that version.
- Deleting the last remaining version of a logical object triggers the deletion of that logical object.
- Downward cascade effect
-
If you delete an item of a higher level, you automatically trigger the deletion of all of its lower-level items. That is:
- Deleting a version item triggers the deletion of all language items in that version item.
- Deleting a logical item triggers the deletion of all versions of that logical item, and of all language items in all versions.
