How to Unlink a Record from a Module

## System Links

Throughout the System you may notice **Plus** and **Link** icons on grids, these represent the ability to **Create and Link **& **Link Existing **records,

Many Modules can Link records between them, with most modules having additional functionality with record linking,

An example is linking Controls to a Risk, these controls will then influence the Risk,

## Unlinking a Record

If a record is no longer required to be linked to another record, it can be unlinked,

To do this, click the three dots (seen in red in the image below),
