Asset Deletion

You can delete draft assets which do not have previous versions. You cannot delete the asset that is in the In Review, Published or Rejected phase. The Glossary administrator can assign the privilege to delete draft assets to users as required.
When you revise a published or rejected glossary asset, the Analyst tool creates another version of the asset and the new version is in the Draft phase. However, you cannot delete the asset because the Business Glossary audit history contains information about the previous versions of the asset.

Deleting an Asset

Data stewards can delete draft assets that do not have previous versions.

    2. In the Actions menu, click Delete.
    A confirmation dialog box appears.
    3. Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the asset.
