KB: Troubleshoot CoDesigner Push Error "Cannot add new revision for deleted item"

Solution Details

Step 1: Identify the Error

• The error message "Cannot add new revision for deleted item" indicates that the model in a revision has been deleted but still exists in the "trash". However, the revision itself has not been deleted.

Step 2: Manage Items in Trash

1. Access the Web UI:
   
   

• Open your web browser and navigate to the Altium 365 platform.
• Log in with your credentials
  
  

2. Navigate to the Trash:
   
   

• In the Web UI, locate the sidebar on the left.
• Click on the Trash icon to view items that have been deleted but are not permanently removed.
  
  

3. Remove or Restore Items:

• • To Restore an Item:
    

1. 1. 1. Find the item you need to restore.
      2. Click on the Restore button next to the item.
      3. Confirm the restoration if prompted.

• • To Permanently Delete an Item:

1. 1. 1. Locate the item you wish to delete permanently.
      2. Click on the Delete button next to the item.
      3. Confirm the permanent deletion if prompted.
         

• • Permissions:
    

• • • For Projects: Only the owner or an administrator can (soft) delete or restore items.
    • For Other Items: You can perform these actions if you have editing rights.
    • Permanent Deletion: Only Workspace Administrators can perform a complete 'hard' deletion.
      
      

Step 3: Push the Design Again

• After managing the trash items, try pushing the design again.

Step 4: Create a Support Ticket if Needed
