Undoing a Check Out

There are multiple reasons for deciding to undo a check out. You may want to discard the latest changes to an object and return to the version of the object stored in Windchill. Alternatively, you may simply want to remove the lock that your checkout has placed on the object.

When you undo a checkout, changes you have made to the content and meta-data of the object are discarded and the content as stored in Windchill is downloaded to the workspace. You can choose not to have the Windchill content downloaded.

A Reuse option for the Undo Check Out action is only available with Pro/ENGINEER 4.0 M070 and later releases and Creo Parametric. This option allows you to retain local modifications that have been saved to the workspace upon undoing the checkout. The Reuse option is only available when the Undo Check Out action is initiated from a primary active workspace viewed in the embedded browser. It is not available in standalone mode. Beginning with Pro/ENGINEER 4.0 M110 and later releases and also with Creo Parametric M010 and later releases, the Reuse option applies to objects whose modifications have been uploaded. At earlier release levels, the reuse option is not applicable to objects whose modifications have been uploaded.
