Just be aware that no one else on your team can edit elements you own until you relinquish them.
Our recommendation is to always relinquish all elements at the end of your work session.

when closing a
local file
What if you were only reviewing the model, making some minor changes, and you don't
want to save the changes? Close the file or application with any of the methods previously
mentioned and select Do Not Save The Project from the Changes Not Saved dialog box. You
will then be presented with another dialog box with two choices concerning borrowed elements
(Figure 5.32). In the Close Project Without Saving dialog box, you can either relinquish any
borrowed elements and worksets or retain ownership of them. Clearly, the best choice is to
relinquish all elements and worksets.

Disabling Worksharing
In a few cases, you might decide that you've enabled worksharing too soon, or after enabling
worksharing you'd rather go back. Worksharing may be disabled as part of the Detach From Central
functionality. This option can be found at the bottom of the Open dialog box. When you elect to
detach a copy of the central file, you have the option to discard worksets, as shown in Figure 5.33.
