# Deprecation: #78524 - TCA option versioning_followPages removed {#deprecation-78524}

See [forge#78524](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/78524)

## Description {#description}

The option `$TCA[$table][ctrl][versioning_followPages]` which was used for branch versioning has been removed.

Additionally the option `$TCA[$table][ctrl][versioningWS]` is now cast to boolean.

The branch / page versioning functionality was removed in TYPO3 v7, but the leftover functionality code has been
completely removed as well.

## Impact {#impact}

A deprecation message is thrown when scanning the TCA tree for these options not being properly set or removed.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any TYPO3 installation with a TCA definition as mentioned above.

## Migration {#migration}

Remove the setting `$TCA[$table][ctrl][versioning_followPages]` from any TCA definition.

If a TCA table has workspaces enabled, set the option `$TCA[$table][ctrl][versioningWS]` to a boolean (true/false) directly.
