Also known as an unincorporated change. Some companies operate this way but we do not. Basically, it allows you to document a change and go all the way to approving the change but not incorporating it. Sidebar: Is this a practice from a bygone error when changes were done on paper by erasing vellum drawings which took a long time? The feature allows incorporation of changes at a later date and version so they are "hanging" until then. A redline could be part of it but is not the same. It is just a markup or BOM redline show what the changes are. These might be part of that hanging change.

Hi @AK_10131364 

 

Thank you for your question! 

 

Iā€™d like to recommend to bring more details and context to your initial inquiry. For example:

  • Where did you encounter the term "hanging change link"? Was it in the UI, logs, documentation, or a discussion?
  • What behaviour or issue are you seeing that led you to believe a change link is "hanging"?
  • Are you referring to a redline that remains unmerged or disconnected from a resulting object revision?

Please add screenshot(s) to better understand what you are trying to do in your process.
