How to access the version manager in ArcGIS Pro?

As a geodatabase administrator, how do I access the version manager in ArcGIS Pro in order to delete a version that has been abandoned by the user (they no longer work here)? I have reviewed this document Versioning in ArcGIS Pro—Geodatabases | ArcGIS Desktop and not found it helpful for my needs. If I'm not editing a version, how can I access it to delete it?

In ArcMap, I could right click on the SDE Database connection as the administrator and delete any version. How do I do that in ArcGIS Pro? I'm on version 1.3.

Do you mean this section specifically? Create, modify, and delete versions—Geodatabases | ArcGIS Desktop

Yes, that's the one, but you can only access it if you fake like you are editing. I'm an administrator for an enterprise geodatabase and need to delete orphan versions before a full compression. In ArcGIS Desktop, I could do this. ArcGIS Pro does not provide the ability for me to manage other user's versions even if I connect to the enterprise geodatabase as the SDE user.

long time... I would contact tech support or you could scroll through the issues resolved documents to see if others have noticed it and whether it has been fixed

Just to follow up.....to see the version manager without editing, right click on the SDE connection (with data owner or admin rights) and select Versions. That's it.
