    @HARSHIKA_VERMA Hi Hariska, 

    I've tried to move master components as in the article you referred to, but am I right when I say that the "make local component" option is removed? I only see the "unlink component" option, which is not what I'm looking for. Has it something to do with an update? Or do I overlook something? Hope you can help me. Thank you in advance.

      Helllo, i'm doing, but the problem is...

      Exemple: i have 4 documents, in each documents i have many diferents master components. I want to move all the master components of the fdifferents documents to a new document (new document just for a master components) to organaise the work. 

      If i do the advice of your past link and i copy the masters components of the old documents and i move to the new document for a master components, paste and make it as a local component, i'll lose the link of each master component with their chill oweride components it had in the document it was. 

      How i can do to move the master component to the new document but keeping the link of the soon components it have in the old document?

      Thanks.

        Right click in the linked component in the new file, should have a "make local component" option.
