Mark as Withdrawn is used when you decide not to continue a swap discussion for a specific book. This action formally ends the conversation and archives the chat for both users.
Unlike Mark as Swapped, which confirms a completed book swap, Mark as Withdrawn clearly indicates that the swap will not happen. It is a final decision for that specific proposal and chat.
This option should be used when you and the other user agree not to proceed, or when you personally decide to stop the discussion for any reason.
What Happens When You Mark as Withdrawn
Once you confirm this action:
- The chat is finalized.
- The conversation is moved to Chats History.
- Both users see that the swap has been withdrawn.
- The discussion for that specific book is officially closed.
There are no multiple outcomes or conditional flows. The only result is that the chat is archived and the swap process ends.
This helps keep your Active Chats clean and ensures that only ongoing book swap discussions remain visible.
When Should You Use Mark as Withdrawn
You may consider using this option if:
- You changed your mind about the swap.
- The other user is no longer responsive.
- You could not agree on swap details.
- You prefer to exchange books nearby with another user instead.
Mark as Withdrawn is a clear and respectful way to stop the discussion without leaving the chat open indefinitely.
