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.

Did you look under Wordsflow in the Links Panel menu?

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

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.

Is your screenshot InDesign 2023? It’s different from my Links panel.

It looks the same in InDesign CC 2022 (look at the title bar again):

I don't have WordsFlow installed. Maybe turn that off?

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