Deleting requirements

Only delete requirements if they are not needed. If you want to keep a record of the requirement without deleting it, you may able to add a workflow event to close it. See Adding workflow events to items.

A requirement cannot be deleted if:

• It is locked for editing by another user.
• It is included in current versions of multiple documents (shared).
• Versions of the requirement are included in a document snapshot.
• You do not have security permissions to delete requirements.
• It is in a public folder that you do not have permission to modify or is locked, or it is in a locked private folder.

Note:  You can remove requirements from documents without deleting them from the project. See Removing requirements from documents.

1. In the Requirements list window, select the requirement and click Delete. You can also choose Edit > Delete.

You are prompted to confirm the deletion.

2. Click Yes.

The requirement is deleted.
