Appendix > Frequently Asked Questions > FAQ: How do versions become orphaned? |
A version becomes "orphaned" when a user accesses Session Manager or Workflow Manager outside of ArcMap and deletes a session or design.
An orphaned version can also be created when a design is created and opened by User1. If User2 posts the version, SDE will not let User2 delete the version after posting the design.
