Versions clean up before archiving

It would be nice if from the "project" page there was an option to delete all the versions of a video or of all the selected videos except for the version that has been "approved".
Right now, the way to get rid of unwanted versions of a video is to go to individual video pages and delete every version individually.
Thank you

Hey julian boudier - thanks for providing feedback! We'll leave this here for others to chime in and vote.
In the meantime, I have a couple follow up questions just to make sure we're understanding what the right solution looks like:
- Can you tell me more about why you want do this? Is it to save storage or other reasons?
- Do you have workflows where there would be newer versions not marked as approved? Would you want to keep these or delete them? Would there be scenarios that you have multiple approved versions and would you want to keep all of them?

Hey Brian - Dropbox Engineer,
sorry for the late reply:
We use Dropbox replay as a video production workflow tool, and then we use Dropbox as our "online video catalogue", this is where we keep "compressed" versions of the videos at hand for integration or to share with a selected group easily. So it would be nice to have an easy way to only transfer the approved versions of the videos from DBreplay to Dropbox.
On your second question, I assume the vast majority of the approved version of the videos would be the most recent ones, but there may be exceptions when it would not be the case when trying creative alternatives.
I hope this explains a bit more the use case, feel free to keep asking for more ;-)
Thanks
