Delete a validation

The Validations page shows all existing validations. When you delete a validation, all certificates connected to it are revoked.

Revocation is the process of removing the validity of a certificate.

To delete a validation:

In DigiCert ONE, in the Manager menu (top right), select Document Trust.
In the DigiCert® Document Trust Manager menu, select Validations > Validations.
Hover over the validation you want to delete, select More actions > Delete validation.

A pop-up window will appear. From the dropdown menu, select the reason for deleting validation.
