 I am completely new using RTC so please, I need an answer as simple as possible.

I recently accepted a change set from another team member and I need to discard the change set from my workspace. My problem here is that the change set I accepted was not delivered and it's still pending and awaiting a review approval. If I discard the change set will this wipe out the team members changes or will it just remove the change set from my workspace? In other words, I am not going to remove any changes the other team member made am I?

I really need to understand this?

Thanks

how did you get a  changeset from another user, if not thru a stream? you should be able to discard it from your workspace without affecting the stream.

 Sorry I am to new at this but I really do not understand streams yet? I think it's a stream is what I pulled it from? Basically, I right clicked on the change set within the links tab that I wanted to use and chose accept which added it to my outgoing. This shows up as a change set with the developers name along with the change set name.  Now all I want to do is discard it without deleting anyone's change set. If this is the case then I should just be able to discard it and it will still exist within the stream, is that correct?

there are three levels.. your desktop (aka sandbox) your workspace (on the server) the stream (on the server) shared between people. each of these can be synched sandbox to workspace and workspace to stream. you checkin from sandbox to workspace you deliver from workspace to stream. others also deliver to stream, you accept from the stream to your workspace you load from your workspace into your sandbox see here https://jazz.net/library/article/126 net, if you are discarding the changeset from your workspace, it will not remove it from the stream if you got it directly from your coworkers workspace and you discard it, it won't  be deleted from their workspace either

Don't worry, discarding the change set from your repository workspace will have no effect on any other developer in your team or the team's stream. It simply detaches it from your repository workspace.

Change sets, once created, remain safely backed up on the server. Even if you can't find them in your repository workspace, stream or in a work item you can always search for them in the RTC rich clients (eclipse, visual studio, CLI).
