Resolution


Refer steps below to Configure Version History in Spotfire Analyst:

-------------------------------------------

1. Open the desired analysis in the Spotfire Analyst client.
 
2. Go to File > Document Properties.
 
3. Navigate to the Library tab.
 
4. Use the option Keep older versions of this file when saving:
  • Checked     → Older versions of the analysis will be saved.
  • Unchecked → Only the most recent version will be saved (If the file previously has older library versions saved, these versions will be kept until manually removed from the library; only future versions are affected when changing this setting).

5. Save the analysis.
 
Note: This feature is only applicable if library version history is enabled on the Spotfire Server.

-------------------------------------------

Additionally,
if you want to enable or disable version history for all analyses by default, Spotfire administrators can manage this at the environment level. You can turn off version history entirely by using the command-line configuration tool and setting library.versioning.enabled to false.
