What Happened To The "Discard Changes" Option When Editing SharePoint Site Pages???
I have access to several tenants - both on Targeted Release for SharePoint online. One tenant shows the discard changes option when editing a SharePoint site page. The other does not...the only optio...
I am happy to report that Discard changes is being made available again with the rollout of co-authoring to a wider audience. Thank you, everyone, for your feedback.
Discard changes is now located within the Undo options under the following conditions:
- When only a single author has made changes since the start of the editing session.
- When multiple users take turns editing.
The Discard changes option is not available if multiple users have made edits in the same session or are editing simultaneously. We are looking forward to your feedback on this integration is rolling out.
It just disappeared for us too. Was there earlier this week, but now it's gone!
I found the answer....our tenants have been updated with the new co-authoring feature for pages. This apparently renders the discard changes button useless...therefore it is gone and isn't coming back. You will have to use the undo button! yay
