Make Templates Stop Sharing Component Files

You can unpoint a component file if you decide you no longer want to share components between multiple templates. (See Use One Component File for Multiple Templates.)

To unpoint a component file

1. Make sure all templates and component editors are closed. (The only thing that should be open is the template library.)
2. At the template library, select the template whose component file you want to unpoint.
3. Click the Component Manager button. The Component Manager window appears.
4. Click the Component File Properties button. The Component File Properties dialog box appears.
5. At the General tab, click the Shared component file drop-down button and choose the blank line at the top of the list.
6. Click OK. The component list changes to show the components used in the original component file.

If you added or created components while the component file was pointed, you must copy those components back to your original component file so HotDocs can find them. See Copy Components From One File to Another for information on how to do this.
