Undoing check-out in Content Manager Explorer

You can perform undo check-out to discard the changes you have made to an item that you have checked-out.

Before you begin

In general, you can undo a check-out only if you are the user who checked out the item. The exception is if you are a System Administrator or you have the Lock Management right.

It is not possible to undo check-out for an item that is in workflow.
