How can I remove a topic added to the wrong DRM version?

You can update the topic reference to allow it to be deleted.

Symptom

A topic was added to the wrong DRM version using the Create New Instance feature. For example, one of our users selected version A of the topic and did a Create New Instance to version B instead of version C.

Problem

The topic will not delete due to parent references.

Solution

Perform the following to remove the topic from version B.
Note: Steps 1-4 can be completed if the topic already exists in both versions B and C.
  1. Right-click the source topic, for example the topic in version A.
  2. Click Dynamic Release Management > Update to. Select version B.
    Note: This replaces the container reference in version B with version A of the topic. The instance that was created for version B will become an orphan.
  3. Delete the topic in version B.
  4. Right-click the source topic, for example the topic in version A.
  5. To create the new instance in version C, click Dynamic Release Management > Create New Instance. Select version C.
