Discussion

When a subproject and master project are linked, changes made to either file affect the other. In addition, if the same subproject is inserted into several master projects, changes to any linked file automatically changes the other files. Although this may be desirable in some situations, you may want to change task information in a master project without affecting the original source file or other master projects. By unlinking the master and subproject files, you can save changes that are independent of the other file.
