FAQ

Q: How can I delete prior revisions?

A: When you are deleting a revision of a node, a new checkbox will appear in a fieldset saying: “Also delete X revisions prior to this one.”; if you check it, all prior revisions will be deleted as well for the given node. If you are deleting the oldest revision, the checkbox will not appear as no prior revisions are available.
