Figure 6.5:
Actively linked parents dialog when making a non-annotation modification to a descendant document
Only annotation modifications can be propagated from descendant (child) documents back to their parents. If you make a non-annotation edit, such as an edit to the sequence itself, you will immediately be warned that in order to save your changes you will need to deactivate this link. As with the Actively Linked Descendants view, you will be given the opportunity to view the document’s lineage. Editing a document that is a descendant of other documents is usually unintentional; however, in some circumstances you may simply be interested in the output documents of an operation (not the parent-descendant relationship), and as such you may hide this dialog (Figure 6.5 ).
