Canceling checkout unlocks the file and discards the changes you made to the copy of the file on your computer. The repository retains the last version of the file as the current version.
To cancel checkout:
Navigate to the locked file.
Do one of the following, depending on the options available:
Click Cancel Checkout next to the file.
Select the file’s checkbox. (To cancel checkout on several files at once, select each file’s checkbox). Select File>Cancel Checkout.
If you are prompted to confirm the cancellation, do one of the following:
If you are canceling checkout on just one file: click OK. (Note that clicking Cancel cancels the cancel-checkout action. The file remains checked out.)
If you are canceling checkout on several files and none of the files are XML-based virtual documents: click Next for each file. For the last file, click Finish. (Note that you can also click Finish before you get to the last file. At the confirmation prompt, click Continue.)
If you are canceling checkout on an XML-based virtual document and are prompted whether to cancel checkout of descendants: select one of the following and then click OK:
Virtual Document and all Descendants
This cancels checkout on both the root file and all nested files.
Only the Virtual Document
This cancels checkout only on the root XML file, not the nested files.
