Hi, I was wondering if there is any wat to reset the edit counter (or reset the edit history) for a project. I have a project to which I would like it to reset it to 0 after each time a major milestone was done but I suspect it isn’t as straightforward as I think.

Thanks in advance for any help or hint.

P.S. I know ther is a system tah that tracks this number, so I guess the question is how to get access to write in it since in the designer it is impossible due to it being a system tag.

Option 1: export, then import the project.

Option 2: File -\> Save As, then delete old project.
