What exactly does the Abandon Change button in gerrit do?

Question

This button is located next to the Browse button. I did not find any documentation that could help me. I have many questions regarding a button like this: can I click to review one fixer, then another, and then discard the first and send the second? We use Git in our project.

Answer 1

There is some documentation regarding the failure option for verifying commands.

But essentially a refusal to reject the change, so it can no longer be tied to a branch if it is not restored.

This change will no longer be considered an open review when it is rolled back.

Answer 2

It's impossible. After you have an abandoned commit, you must remove the dependency of future commits on it. Here's an answer that can tell you how to do this.
