Work with shared part number separation

If you're a hub admin, you can separate a shared part number group into individual models, each with its own unique part number.

Reasons to separate a shared part number group:

• Large groups may have been created accidentally during data transfer or hub migration.
• Someone mistakenly assigned the same part number to multiple unrelated models.

Once part number separation is started, it runs as a background process. A notification in the toolbar tracks progress and lets you know when it's finished. Secondary models in the group will each receive a unique part number. The primary model will keep the original part number. Part number separation can't be undone.
