Unlocking a co-authored document cancels the co-authoring session. This feature is useful when the initiator of the session decides that the co-authoring changes are not required, and wants to end the session without saving the changes to iManage Work.

NOTE:

If other users are editing the document or if you have it open on other devices or online, ensure that the document is closed before you try to unlock it.
