Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @Eragaus on GitHub (Jun 12, 2024).
Describe the feature you'd like
Like image cleanup script, we would be able to clean old revisions through scripts or a new interface.
We could filter according to a date or range of them, simply selecting those we want to remove.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
The main benefit is to clear the database with old data. Few persons do not want to keep old revisions after weeks, months, weeks... Or they just want to keep revision clean.
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
No
Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
How long have you been using BookStack?
1 to 5 years
Additional context
No response

Thanks for the request @Eragaus.
Can you confirm specifically what you want to achieve as a result of cleaning revisions? What is your functional end goal via such a feature? You mention clearing the database, but I want to further understand why that's important to you.
@Eragaus commented on GitHub (Jun 15, 2024):
Old and useless revisions can take a lot of space because the number of
them can increase significantly. Moreover, the useless ones can be removed.
That is why it would be nice, being able to clean revisions, like cleanup
image buttons. We could also remove them according to a date filter.

+1 as currently I manually delete old revisions one by one, which is quite tedious. A cron job would be also welcome to clean up old revisions.
For the GUI side of things, here are two screenshots from ProcessWire showing how admins can manage log entries in the backend (chop / burn):
I could imagine something similar regarding BookStack's revisions, both globally and on a page-by-page basis.
@Eragaus commented on GitHub (Jun 16, 2024):
I imagined the same UI, it perfectly fit with the main Bookstack theme.
