Detach (Unlink) a Branch of a Hierarchy
When you unlink a branch from a hierarchy (as opposed to deleting it) the branch will be moved to the Recycle Bin so that it can be used later. Follow these steps to unlink a node or branch from a hierarchy:
1.Highlight the branch to be detached.
2.There are three ways to unlink a node:
a.From the Workbench toolbar you can click the Unlink Branch button. 
b.Click the right mouse button; click Unlink Branch from Hierarchy.
c.Select Node 
Unlink Branch from the Main Menu.
3.The Confirm Unlink window will appear after you select Unlink Branch, displaying the top hierarchy node that you wish to unlink. Although more than one node may be selected, only one node at a time is shown.
4.Click Yes to unlink the node or branch. If more than one node is selected, you may click Yes to All to place all nodes and their children in the recycle bin.
a.If more than one node is selected, clicking the No button cancels the operation for only the currently selected node identified at the top of the window.
b.The Cancel button will quit the entire operation for all selected nodes.
Note: If the node you are detaching is not shared, the node will be placed in the appropriate Recycle Bin. If it is shared, it will simply be removed from that location, and will remain in its other locations, but it will not be placed in the Recycle Bin.
Reattach (Link) a Hierarchy Branch from the Recycle Bin:
Once you have removed a node or branch from a hierarchy, you may wish to reattach it elsewhere. These instructions will guide you through that process.
1.Be sure the hierarchy (Analysis, Objective, Program) you wish to use is the active hierarchy (click anywhere in the hierarchy to make it active).
2.Select Project Recycle Bin from the Main Menu, and then select the appropriate bin.
3.Drag the item(s) from the bin to a target node of the active hierarchy.
4.When the Confirm Drop dialog box appears, choose Last child, Sibling above or Sibling below (in relation to the target node in the hierarchy). Click OK to confirm the placement of the node.
Irregularities, such as incomplete data imports, can lead to data items that are neither in the hierarchy nor in the Recycle Bin. They’re just "floating" in the project, as it were, yet they can still turn up in searches and reports. These items are referred to as orphans. When they turn up in a search (for example, the Objective Orphans search), you can drag them from the search results list into the hierarchy.
