c) cancels check-in, and also your entire booking ;-)
Having checked in and downloaded boarding card (I know, amateur mistake), I see my conference now ends soon enough for me to catch an earlier flight. I'm going to ask at the airport, but in theory (ha!) this option on the app should be just what you need to reset your booking to its pre-checkin state enabling you to change it yourself online. I'm 100% certain that won't be the case though, so was wondering what in fact it DOES do...
As far as I know, all it does is it stops the checkin process before you confirm that you want to check in. Until you click on confirm check in, you aren't checked in. Just switching off your phone or closing the app has largely the same effect. The option isn't available to you if you are actually checked in.
