Is there a way to 'uncheckout' a workflow without publishing?

If I checkout a workflow in the workflow editor, is there a way to uncheck it out and discard any changes I've made? All I see is the Publish option, which, of course, will save any changes.

 

Thanks,

Gary

I really don't like how this is in ServiceNow.  



The way to do this is Delete your checked out workflow.



That always makes me extra cautious because you do not want to deleted the published one, however just triple check you are on the workflow checked out to you and then choose Delete.  



I double checked this in demo004 to make sure I wasn't wrong but try it yourself.

That worked for me too. I saw the Delete option in the menu, but didn't want to try it until I knew for sure that it would not completely blow away the workflow. It should be renamed.

Where are you finding this Delete menu selection. In both Fuji and Eureka all I see in the menu selections are the usual: New Workflow, Open Existing, Publish, Expand Transitions, Start Workflow, Properties, Edit Stages, Edit Catalog Variables and Workflow Canvas Help.

In my developer instance running Fuji, it appears right below Checkout, and Checkout is below Copy, neither of which you mention. Here's what it looks like for a workflow that is not checked out:
