The ribbon tab File contains a Close icon file_close_icon which closes the current document.

Tip: Use the ribbon command View | Windows windows_icon | Close all to close all currently open documents at once.

In the classic menu interface

Tip: Use the menu command Window > Close all to close all currently open documents at once.

Via the keyboard

You can also use the shortcut key Ctrl+F4 or alternatively Ctrl+W to close the current document.
