Removing links between competency elements (removing a parent or child)

You can remove the link between two elements without deleting either element. (However, if either element is deleted, the link between them is automatically removed.)

As with creating a link, you can remove a link from either of the two linked elements. So if you no longer want a given learning objective to be attached to a given competency, you can either go to the competency’s Structure page and remove the learning objective (listed under Children), or go to the learning objective’s Structure page and remove the competency (listed under Parents).

Note  If you are using Competency Status, you cannot add or remove links that would change the definition of an Approved or Archived competency. The Add and Remove features is not displayed on the Structure page of an Approved or Archived competency or of a learning objective attached to an Approved or Archived competency.
