Should you wish to discard the changes you have made for some reason, select the Abort Changes option instead and confirm.

Note: Editable text frames will display a green T icon and when edited, the text frames will display a red T icon.

Once you have submitted or aborted your changes, the story will be checked back in and locked for editing, displaying a no symbol over the green T icon.
