Removing Bindings From Projects in Flare Online

If you no longer need your project to be bound to Flare Online, you can remove its binding. Removing the binding from a project does not remove that project from Flare Online; instead, it simply removes the link between Flare Online 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 in Flare Online.

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

How to Remove a Binding from a Project in Flare Online

  1. Open the project in MadCap Flare Desktop.
  2. Select View > Flare Online. The Flare Online 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 Flare Online, 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 documentation for Flare Online.

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