Release Project / Release Multiple

Client/Server Mode

Purpose

Use Release Project/Release Multiple to remove one or more projects from the client without updating the server. After releasing a project, the project is unlocked and can be checked out by other users.

When using Release Project, data saved only to the client does not update the server, abandoning any unsynchronized client data.

Warning - If you use this command to remove a project from the client, without updating the server, all of your data is lost.
