Undoing a Document Checkout

 

Users with Create, Edit and Delete permissions for documents can cancel (undo) a document check out. To do this, you must be in the workspace-level Documents application. You cannot undo a checkout from the global Documents tab.

This is useful if, for example, a team member has forgotten to check a document in before leaving work, and other users need to work on the document.

TO undo the Checkout of a document:

  1. Open the workspace-level Documents application.
  2. Select the document for which you want to undo the checkout.
     Note: Checked out documents are shown with an icon in the documents list.
  3. Click Checked Item Actions and Undo Checkout:

    Note: If the document was locked at checkout, it is unlocked when you undo the checkout.
