Discard Check Out

This option is used when you are in a situation where the changes that have been made to a checked out file are no longer relevant. When discard check out is applied, the file is returned to its former state, before the file was ever checked out. This means any changes made to the file since it was checked out will be lost. Please note that site and library owners have the option to discard other users check outs. In this situation, site or library owners should consider checking in on behalf of that user so that no changes are lost.

To discard a check out on a file, follow these steps:

	Navigate to the desired library
	Place a  tick next to the file that you wish to check out
	In the task bar, click on the ellipses
	Click on  Discard Check Out
	Click on Discard Check Out in the confirmation box
