Converting a referenced (linked) object to an independent object

This topic explains how to convert a referenced (linked) object to an independent object.

Before you begin

You must be the SysAdmin user.

About this task

The ReUse tool creates shared copies of one object in different containers. There is one instance of the object in the database, but it is accessible from more than one place in the hierarchy. The Convert to Object tool breaks this link, resulting in an object that is now independent from other objects.

Procedure

In either tree or list view, right-click on an object, click more, and then click Convert to Object.
In the list view, the Status column changes from reference to read-write.
