Discarding a document from a project folder

Discarding a document from a project folder deletes the project copy. This is essentially the same as revoking a revision under change in a document workflow. The project copy is destroyed along with all changes made to it and cannot be restored. As such, you should only discard a project copy from a project folder when you are absolutely certain that it will not be needed.

NEW Note    By default, this action also removes any references to the discarded project copy. However, this behavior can be configured differently by a system administrator. Depending on how it is configured, references between project copies might be redirected to the master document if a project copy is discarded from the project. If the remaining project copy is released from the project, both master documents will then be related by a reference that did not exist prior to the project copies being made. In some scenarios, such as assembly relationships, this might be desirable. In other scenarios, such as custom references, this might not be desirable. Before using this command, carefully consider its effect on references with respect to your business processes and consult a system administrator if the result is uncertain.

To discard a project copy document from a project folder:

1. Select the project copy to be discarded.
2. From the Document menu, select Master/Project Copy, and click Discard from Project.
3. A confirmation prompt is displayed. Click Yes to proceed to discard the selected document. Click No to cancel the action.
