Undo Check Out

The Undo Check Out option from the Manage menu allows you to leave the files in the Change Management Server without copying your changes to it. The Undo Check Out releases the files so that other users can work on them. If you want to undo the check out on the Server without changing the updated files on your local computer, make sure the Don't overwrite local file(s) with managed copy check box is selected.

IMPORTANT: If you clear the Don't overwrite local file(s) with managed copy check box for a check out, you must reload the file to view the changed file on the local computer.

To undo a check out:

  1. In the iFIX WorkSpace system tree, right-click the file, folder, or project that you want to undo changes on, and on the Manage menu, select Undo Check Out. The Undo Check Out dialog box appears.
  2. If you want to undo the check out on the Server without changing the updated files on your local computer, make sure the Don't overwrite local file(s) with managed copy check box is selected.

    Clear this check box if you want to undo the check out on the Change Management Server, and then replace the files on your local computer with the versions on the Change Management Server. If you clear this check box, be aware that you must reload the file to view the changed file on your local computer.

  1. Click OK. A status box appears on screen as undo check out proceeds.
