Unlink/delete linked assets
I've linked assets from other document...nice...but how to unlink them? Delete from assets?
While I'm able do everything with components which I draged & dropped from other document, I cant do nothing with them when I'm using "+" as linking method.
Thanks for your feedback! You can delete your linked assets by going to the dropdown near the search field at the top of the assets panel, hovering over the document title, and clicking on the X on the right side of that line. Hope that helps!

Hey, I am having some issues with linked assets after the latest updates and switch to the libraries panel. Seems some of my files freeze with linked assets now. I need to force quit XD and cannot work on the files. This is a big problem.

I agree with William Hall.
It's not possible to delete the first linked xd file with assets. If I click the X to delete my source file with linked assets, the assets are still connected to my first source file. This means that the first linked source file is still displayed in my asset panel and all components of it are displayed below in the asset manager.
The only thing that happens is that my placed components on my canvas change from components to folder and all placed components are distroyed.
Just the second or third linked source file can be deleted completly.

This not true. It does not work Elaine.

I think if you rename the source file the component links will break.

Thanks for pointing out Elaine, still as many said this should be put somewhere else.
Also i guess this is still a feature request because all that clocking that x does is delete your linked assets, but there's no way to unlink them and keep them. -

Is there any way to unlink the assets in the file from the source file? i don't want to delete the source file but to unlink them.

Sadly it's very difficult to find and once found - it doesn't work (I can click and click on this "x" and nothing happens.

Thank you @Elaine. But like @Ogi said I don't think that's the right place for unlinking.

helpful respond btw. maybe the UI should not be a "dropdown" that seemed included in search input. maybe it should be a button just like list/grid view button.
