Unlink option missing in Links panel in Indesign 2023

What happened to the Unlink option in the Links panel in Indesign 2023? It's gone! I use that to detach text files (Word). All I can do now is link to a new document, but that's not what I want. I want to detach the text and use the formatted page for a new text. I work with the WordsFlow plugin by the way. Maybe that will clarify what I mean.

Yes, it looks like using Wordsflow must rearrange the menus so you don't find what you're expecting.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. WordsFlow turned out to be the culprit. I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and it works again!

Did you look under Wordsflow in the Links Panel menu?

    If you want Unlink available for a Word file you need to check the Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files in Preferences > File Handling.
