Discard local

[sjsl]

Where and how do you or can you "discard local"?

What we want to do is open our workset, monkey around with it and close it w/o saving.
The catch is, we want to do this w/o necessarily opening w/o detaching, (sometimes you don't think of this first)

You can always close the local file without saving it (neither locally nor save to central). The only difficulty is that when you make something editable that fact is recorded in the central file immediately (it must be, otherwise someone else could change the same thing). So, when you close the local file without saving it, anything you made editable is still editable. To release it, open the original local file and make it non-editable. (You could also open the central file and make the elements or worksets non-editable, but there is a risk that you'll make something non-editable that you had already changed in the original local file but hadn't saved to central; never do this unless you are certain that all changes saved in the local file have already been saved to central.)

Just to add a little bit...in 8.1 you don't have to go into the worksets dialog to make elements non-editable, just go to File > Relinquish All Mine

So here are the steps:

Undo everything...
Relinquish all mine
close without saving

Why not this:

1. Attempt to close a project (without saving)
2. New Option: Relinquish all worksets and close
3. Then be prompted to save or not...

[david.kingham]

No.

Just close without saving (local or central)
Re-open file and relinquish all mine

I guess I should of put my suggestion in the wish list.

Anything at this point is a work around...
