Hi
In the SAP Analytics Cloud Content Model, the "Current State" dimension helps you understand the different statuses of versions. Here's a explanation
"Current State" dimension provides information about the state or status of each version of your content. When a version is labeled as "active," it means it is currently in use and represents the most up-to-date version. It's like the version you're currently working on, where you can make changes and updates.
On the other hand, an "inactive" version is not the most recent one. It represents a previous state or a snapshot of your content that you saved or published earlier. Inactive versions are read-only, meaning you can't directly modify them. They serve as reference points to see how the content looked at a specific point in time.
To summarize, the "Current State" dimension helps you distinguish between the active version (the one you're currently working on) and the inactive versions (previous versions saved for reference). It tells you whether a version is the latest or represents a previous state of your content.
Thanks

Hi Poorna,
Thank you very much for the detailed answer! We now understand that when a user starts editing data, a Public Edit Version with the status "active" is created.
However, we are still unclear about how or when the system decides to change the status from "active" to "inactive." Additionally, we are curious about what happens when the user starts editing the data again. Will another active version be created and the inactive version remains, or will the inactive version become active again?
Thank you in advance for your clarification.
Best regards,
Michael
Dear community members,
I'm having a slightly different but related question: how can you delete inactive versions? At a particular customer I have a model that has 3 inactive versions, from 3 different users. They date back to March, April and May 2024 and contain up to 1.9 billion rows of data according to the 'Private Versions Statistics and Analysis' story.
Thanks for your replies in advance!
Kind regards,

Thanks Jef! What I have noticed is that these inactive versions can't be managed via the versions panel. If the user adds the model to a table and checks the versions, they don't display as private versions. I have submitted an incident on the SAP Support Portal as well to get some more clarity. If anything useful comes out of that, I will share it here as well.
