Usage

    • Press the Discard button to discard the active document and lose all changes.

Options

  • If there are multiple unsaved documents: check the Apply answer to all checkbox to avoid being prompted for each unsaved document separately.
  • When the dialog box is displayed: press Esc or the Cancel button to abort the command.

Notes

  • A document can also be closed by right-clicking it in the Tree view and selecting Close document from the context menu.
