Canceling check-out of documents

Canceling the check-out of a document with Application Integration performs the following actions:

• Unlocks the current revision of the document that resides in the vault
• Abandons your Local Workspace copy of the document

To cancel check-out of a document with Application Integration, you use a Windows application's Open command (but don't open another document) and complete the action using the Application Integration dialog:

1. From within the Windows application with which you are editing the document, on the File menu select Open. By default, the Application Integration dialog appears as shown in Working with documents in Application Integration.

If the Default Behavior option is set to Always Show Standard File Dialog, the application's normal dialog appears.

1. To close the application's normal dialog and open the Application Integration dialog, click the ImandrA vault toolbutton .

To change the Default Behavior option, see Setting Application Integration options.

2. To close the Application Integration dialog, open the application's normal file dialog, and select a document from a location other than the vault, click the Local File System toolbutton .
3. Select a view from the toolbar or browse the folder structure in the Navigation view to locate the document for which you want to cancel check-out.
4. By default, a file filter is applied to the Application Integration document list pane to show only those file types that are registered in Windows for the application that you are using. To apply a different file filter or to view all file types, select a different filter from the list.
5. Select the document for which you want to cancel check-out.
6. Click the Cancel Checkout toolbutton . A confirmation prompt appears.
7. Click Yes.
8. Click Cancel to close the Application Integration dialog (the Windows application's Open command).
