The Supersede utility is a console application that can be used to archive superseded files, thereby maintaining a set of current files.

Archive superseded files

Files are matched to rules using regular expressions, and configuration specifies whether to delete or move superseded files to another location.

What if I want to copy files to another location first?

Glad you asked! The utility can also be configured to copy files to another location and then archive superseded files from there.

This is useful when you wish to maintain a current folder that is different from the file’s original location.

For example, a file may initially be exported to 📁Exports\2022-02-03 and you want to maintain a set of current files in 📁Exports\Current, archiving superseded files from there.
