    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a map for hydrant inspectors to use when doing inspections. There are a few areas in the county that have poor service, so I have create two offline areas for them to use. When I go to "manage replicas" in Pro, I see the folloiwng replicas:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="MDB_GIS_0-1776085632585.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150990i85367D752FFCDDEC/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="MDB_GIS_0-1776085632585.png" alt="MDB_GIS_0-1776085632585.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;29&lt;/STRONG&gt; different versions, however. I suspect that previous offline versions were not cleaned up one the offline version was deleted, but how in the world am I supposed to tell what is what at this point?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="MDB_GIS_1-1776085955784.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150991iC9D28268973676F9/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="MDB_GIS_1-1776085955784.png" alt="MDB_GIS_1-1776085955784.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;From my observation, there is no option to control the replica and version name when they are created. This makes is pretty hard to figure out at this point. Am I missing something? I have looked all over for good documentation on managing offline versions, but I have found nothing helpful. Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
