Batch Delete Documents

Currently it is very time consuming to delete multiple items from 4 Projects as you have to delete each item individually and pick which of the previous revisions is to be used as the new current revision. It would be much quicker if items could be batch deleted, the reason I think that this option isn't available currently is because it asks you to select which revision is to be used as the current revision once the item has been deleted - 99% of the time the answer to this is the previous revision - could this not be a default option on 4P when choosing to batch delete with the understanding that if you need to pick specific previous revisions then you would need to delete the items one by one.

Also if you need to delete a document in its entirety you need delete each revision separately, again it would be good if there was an option to delete all revisions.

    It would also be advantageous when QA rejecting and deleting the current revision from viewpoint, rather than physically choosing the previous revision, the system intelligently provides a message asking the user to revert to the previous revision. This could potentially remove the risk of the incorrect revision being chosen and could also enable bulk deletion.
