  1. Make sure you are working online.
     
  2. From the Library or Outline Editor, select one or more documents or folders containing the documents for which you want to cancel a check out. These documents can only be documents that are checked out to you.

  3. On the Document menu, choose Cancel Check Out Cancel Check Out.
     
    The Related Documents dialog box appears when you perform an action on any document that has links to other documents. You can choose to process only the document(s) you selected or to process your selection and all of the related documents.
     
    Click the View related documents link to display a list of the related documents if you are not sure whether you want to include related documents.
