[Autogenerated] Hi and this? Listen, I'm
going to show you how to discard the check
out of a document in a SharePoint document
Library. I'm signed in today is Gary
Coulson. You can see it up here in the
upper right, And we're going to go to the
job descriptions library. Now, when we get
here, we see that there is one document
that has been checked out already, and
that is the administrative assistant job
description. And when we hover over a
little check out icon, we see that it has
been checked out to Pierce Boyd. Well, we
know that we can't do anything about
editing that. So what Gary is going to do
instead is he is going to check out the
accounts payable clerks job description
and make a couple of changes. We're gonna
open it up here, and first of all, we're
gonna make this header this title bold,
and we're gonna make it a little bit
bigger. But he wants to add one more
requirement. And that is going to be
QuickBooks. Knowledge preferred. Okay.
He's going to close the document back up
now. He's not sure that he's quite done
with it yet, so he's not going to check it
back in. Now Gary wants to take another
look at the administrative assistant job
description. So he's going to go to show
actions down two more and see there's no
options in here for him to check this
document back in. He can't do it, so he is
discouraged. But if we go and take a look
at the show actions Maur and check in
options here for the accounts payable
clerks job description that Gary signed
out. See what happens here. We have on
option to discard. Check out. So what does
that mean? What? Let's do it and find out.
We're gonna click there when we get this
little warning window that says if you
discard your checkout, you will lose all
changes made to the document. Are you sure
you want to discard your check out? What
that means is exactly what it says. If
Gary goes ahead and discard to check out
instead of checking it back in, he will
lose everything that he has done. He'll
lose all off those changes. Well, he
doesn't want that to happen, So he's gonna
close that and leave the document checked
out Now we're gonna go ahead and we're
gonna take a look at this again. But as
Pearce Boyd, So hang in there with me
while I switch to another machine and we
sign in as Pierce Boy, I'll be right back.
All right? I am back, and I am signed in
this Pierce Boyd. Now, you can see that
here in the upper right, And we are
already in the job descriptions document
library. Now, before we get started, I
want to show you one thing. We're gonna
look at the membership off this HR team
site. We're gonna click here, and we see
that Pierce Boyd is a site owner, whereas
Gary is simply a member. Now that's going
to make a big difference to what we're
gonna do right now. Remember, Gary had
checked out the accounts payable clerks
job description and when he tried to take
a look and see if he could do anything
about checking in the administrative
assistant job description, which was
checked out by Pierce Boyd, he had no
options. However, because Pearce is the
site owner, let's take a look and see what
he can do. Remember the accounts payable
clerks job description has been checked
out by Gary. We're gonna click show
actions. We're gonna go down to Maur and
see that because Pierce is the site owner,
he has the option to discard somebody
else's check out. Now, Pierce really wants
to take a look. The accounts payable
clerks job description and make some
changes, so he's gonna discard that check
out. So we're gonna click there, But
again, we get that same warning. If we
discard this check out, you're gonna lose
all the changes. So if he goes ahead and
does this the changes that Gary made that
adding that QuickBooks preferred and
changing the title of our document,
they're going to be gone. So we're gonna
go ahead and do that. We're gonna discard
to check out, and we're gonna open up the
accounts, payable clerks job description,
and you can see right away. Remember, we
change this header. We made it bold, and
we made it bigger. And that last
requirement is missing. So that's
something that I think you should know.
The site owner can discard any check out,
but unfortunately, you're gonna lose any
changes that have been made. So now you
know how to discard the check out of a
document in a document library. And what
the consequences of doing that? Our thanks for listening and I'll see you next time.
