Discarding Change Package Entries
You can remove entries from a change package by discarding them. To discard entries, the change package must be in an Open or Rejected state.
You can only discard entries from a change package in a Closed state if all of the following conditions are met:
• You are the change package creator or administrator.
• Reviews are not mandatory for the change package. If reviews are mandatory, committed entries cannot be discarded (contact your administrator for more information).
• The change package has not been propagated by another change package

When a change package entry is discarded, the following happens if applicable:
• Deferred operations corresponding to deferred entries are reverted.
• Locks on members corresponding to lock entries are released.
• Pending operations corresponding to pending entries are reverted, and discarded entries are created (to preserve the review history).
• Pending revisions corresponding to pending entries are deleted.
• Archives created for pending members associated with entries in the change package are deleted from the server (pre-existing archives that were shared to create a pending member are not deleted).
• Any nested operations in a pending subproject are discarded at the same time as the subproject.
If any server issue occurs while discarding a change package entry, the discarded change package entry is moved to one of the following states:
• (Discarding) Pending <Action>
For example, (Discarding) Pending Add
• (Discarding) <Action>
For example, (Discarding) Add
You can then reattempt discarding the change package entry from such partially discarded state.

If a change package contains partially discarded entries, you must first discard these entries before attempting to discard other entries in the change package.
