Deleting an attachment

Use the Attachments window to delete an attachment to a data module (DM) in your technical manual.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigation panel, click Attachments.
    The Attachments window opens. The left panel of the window displays a list of DMs in the publication that have files attached to them. When the window opens, the DM selected before the Attachments button was clicked is active. If you want to work with a different DM, select it in the left panel to make it active.

    The right panel contains information about the active DM, including a list of its attachments if any, and controls for working with them.

  2. Ensure that the name and path to the DM with the attachment you want to delete is displayed in the Target field.
  3. From the list of attachments associated with the active DM, select the Delete link for the attachment you want to delete.
    LiveContent S1000D displays a message prompting you to confirm that you want to delete the selected attachment.
  4. Click OK.
    The attachment is deleted from the selected DM and removed from the list of its attachments. If you have deleted the only attachment associated with a DM, the DM is removed from the list in the left panel.
  5. When you have finished deleting attachments, do one of the following.
    • Click Close to close the Attachments window and return to the location in the publication selected before the window was opened.
    • Click GoTo to close the Attachments window and go to the location of the currently selected DM.
