Removing Bindings From Projects on Central

If you no longer need your project to be bound to Central, you can remove its binding. Removing the binding from a project does not remove that project from Central; instead, it simply removes the link between Central and your local project. The project will still be available locally, but you will no longer be able to upload (push) changes from your local project to the cloned project on Central.

Note If you are working in a dual-bound setup and want to remove the first binding and leave the Central binding, see Moving From Dual-Bound to Single-Bound.

How to Remove a Binding from a Project in Central

  1. Open the project in MadCap Flare.
  2. Select View > MadCap Central. The MadCap Central window pane opens.
  3. Be sure to log in if you aren't already.
  4. Click .
  5. In the confirmation window, click OK.
  6. (Optional) In MadCap Central, you can click Projects on the left side to open the Projects page. The unbound project is still shown in the grid. However, you can archive it or delete it if you no longer need it. If you do not archive it or delete it, it will remain in the project list, but you will not be able to push changes to it. For more information about archiving and deleting projects, see the Central online Help.

Note Binding and unbinding is usually straightforward when using the Flare interface. However, if you bind to projects outside of Flare, there is more you should know. See Bind Detection, Disabling Providers, and Unbinding Providers—Git.
