Undoing Check Outs on DITA Content

Prerequisites: Users must have permissions to check in and out assets in the CMS Assets Manager. See Creating Groups for details to set permissions.

Operating users may make changes inadvertently or make changes to DITA content in the Oxygen Desktop Plugin. Rather than check in the content (i.e., save and check in the changes as a new content version), operating users can undo their most recent checkout. Undoing a checkout reverts the content to its checked-in state before the last check-out session.

Warning

The Undo Check Out action permanently deletes all changes made during the previous check-out session.

To undo a check out on DITA content via the Oxygen Desktop Plugin:

Open the Oxygen XML Editor application.
Navigate to a checked-out item assigned to you within the Ingeniux CMS Browser tab's tree structure.
Note
An unlock icon displays next to checked-out item assigned to you in the Ingeniux CMS Browser tab. If you hover over a checked-out item, the tooltip text displays Checked Out and assigned to [name-of-operating-cms-user].
Right-click the item in the Ingeniux CMS Browser tree, and select Undo Check Out (or press CTRL+Shift+U).
The system reverts the item to its checked-in state before the last check-out session. Depending on the Close Editor After Check In / Undo Check Out checkbox setting, the item remains open or closes in Oxygen XML Editor's main pane.
Note
Depending on your CMS version, see Configuring CMS 10.6 Connection Settings or Configuring CMS 10.3–10.5 Connection Settings for details to configure the Close Editor After Check In / Undo Check Out checkbox setting.
