Obliterate a review

  • By default, you must be a user with admin or super user rights to obliterate a review.
  • Optional: Swarm can be configured to allow users to obliterate reviews that they have authored. This can be configured by your Swarm administrator. See Allow author obliterate review.

Obliterate is used to permanently delete reviews that have been created by mistake. For instance, if a review is associated with the wrong changelist, or a review contains sensitive information that should not be openly available.

For information on what happens to a review when it is obliterated, see When you obliterate a review.

Obliterate must be used with care, the review and all of its associated metadata are permanently deleted. An obliterated review cannot be reinstated, not even by Perforce Support.

  1. Navigate to the review.
  2. Click the Review actions Image of the Review actions button button and select Obliterate Review.
  3. Click Yes on the confirmation dialog to complete the obliterate action.
  4. The review is obliterated.
