  Key Concepts: 
  Check-out cancel is a feature of SAP Document Management Services (DMS) that allows users to cancel a check-out of a document. This feature is useful when a user has checked out a document but no longer needs to make changes to it. By canceling the check-out, the document is returned to its original state and can be checked out by another user.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the check-out cancel feature, users must first have access to the DMS component. Once they have access, they can select the document they wish to cancel the check-out for and click on the “Cancel Check-Out” button. This will return the document to its original state and make it available for other users to check out.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the check-out cancel feature, it is important to remember that any changes made to the document before canceling the check-out will be lost. Therefore, it is best to save any changes before canceling the check-out. Additionally, it is important to remember that only one user can have a document checked out at a time, so if another user has already checked out the document, canceling the check-out will not be possible.
