Important Note: Due to limited control over how external services handle files, CommonSpot treats deleted multimedia files differently from other files which are maintained for version history when deleted. Deleting a multimedia file permanently removes it and all history versions from the hosting server, whether it is local or maintained by an external sharing service.
