Undo Checkout

Use the Undo Checkout dialog box to cancel checkouts for one or more checked-out resources.

When you cancel a checkout on a file, the selected version of the resource is loaded from the VOB and overwrites any changes you have made in the checked-out version. To preserve your changes, select Keep a copy of modified artifacts.
