    2. Click No, to discard your changes.
      Note: Even if you click Yes above, the file will only be saved locally, and if you undo the checkout subsequently, the changes will not be saved to the docbase.
  2. Right-click the document filename and select Break lock.
    The lock icon is replaced by the document icon. . Any changes that were made to the document since the last checkout, even if they were saved locally, are discarded.
