# Discard a catalog item

Discard a catalog item that’s in the Draft state in Catalog Builder.

## Before you begin

Role required: catalog\_builder\_editor, catalog\_admin, or admin

## About this task

If you no longer want a draft item, you can discard it in Catalog Builder. When you discard a draft item that doesn’t have a published item associated with it, that draft item is deleted. If a draft item has a published item associated with it, the draft item is deleted while the published item remains intact. The data of the catalog item is reverted to the state that it was in before you started editing it.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Service Catalog** > **Catalog Builder**.

2.  Select the **Catalog items** tab.

3.  Select the catalog item that you want to discard.

    **Note:** You can discard only those catalog items that are in the **Draft** state. After you select any draft item, the **Discard draft** button becomes active.

4.  Select **Discard draft**.

    **Note:** If a catalog item wizard is already open for editing, and you want to discard it, select the more actions icon \(\[Omitted image "more-actions-ne-icon.png"\] Alt text: More Actions icon\) on the wizard, and select **Discard draft**.
