You can replace a read-only object reference with an editable copy of the project object by promoting the object reference.

Best Practice

Promoting an object reference severs all connections to project object source data. The connection cannot be re-established.

You should promote an object reference only when you have no need to maintain the project object’s link to its source drawing or data.

To promote a project object

In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, under the Open Drawings collection, expand the drawing that contains the project reference object you want to promote.
Expand the drawing object collection that contains the object reference you want to promote.
Right-click the object and click Promote.
