How can I discard all changes at once in GitHub Desktop? (I use it on Windows)

I used to do:

but can't see the option any more since GitHub for Windows upgraded itself silently (and changed its name to GitHub Desktop on the way).

I don't want to do it manually for each file one by one. I know I can use the git shell.

I use the latest version of GitHub Desktop, viz. 3.0.1.1.
