Description
Your idea
Many apps have the ability to cancel all unsaved changes, and Revert to the last saved document. This would be a small time-saving feature to add, even though you can just close and reopen the document.
Problem to be solved
Sometimes users muck around in a document without wanting those changes to stick. A 'Revert to Saved' option is occasionally useful.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an implementation entry point. Start by locating the desktop application's File menu and existing document save or reload actions, then trace how unsaved changes are discarded. Done means the File menu offers “Revert to Saved” and the document returns to its last saved state without requiring close and reopen.
