To disconnect your local copy from the on-line version

Disconnect breaks the connection between your local copy of a model and the shared, cloud version. After you disconnect, you can no longer sync your changes to the shared copy. One reason to disconnect a model is to free it for publishing to another group

1. Open the model.
2. Open Settings and Utilities.
3. Click Disconnect Model.
4. Click Yes in the dialogue box.

• Disconnecting doesn't affect other design group users. They remain connected and can continue to sync.
• To collaborate using the model you disconnected, republish it. (If other group members are still using the on-line version, rename the model or publish it to a different server location.)
• To collaborate again using on the on-line version of the model you disconnected, download the on-line model to get the latest, synchronised version. (Save it to a different location on your server if you still have a copy of the disconnected version with the same name.)

You may also want to disconnect a local model if someone else deletes that model from a group. You get a message if you try to sync a model removed from the group.
