Answer
To reset/abandon a "Ready For Check in PLM" command, you need to:
Access the object in your CS Dashboard select More Life Cycle "Reset (abandon) Ready For Check in PLM".
As a consequence:
- the selected CAD Document will be reset to the "Preliminary" state in SmarTeam, and can be edited again.
- The corresponding CAD Document in the PLM will transition to "In Preparation" and baselined (frozen).
