Version Control Functionality - Undo Check Out

Go Up to Version Control

If you decide that you do not want to save any revisions you have made to a checked out file, you can undo the procedure that releases the lock placed on the project or file. However, you do not have the option of deleting the local copy of the file.

Tip: You can specify the file directory in the Version Control Working Directory option of the Options Editor. For details, see Version Control Options.
