System 7: Editing a Subscriber

Can I edit a subscriber?
Not generally. A subscriber is a copy of data that was published by another document. The published material stays in the original document.

There are two ways to change the data you see in the subscriber. You can either edit the original data in the publisher, or break the connection between the publisher and the subscriber. Breaking the connection leaves an editable copy of the data in the subscribing document.

To edit the original data, follow these steps:

1) Select the subscriber.
2) Choose "Subscriber Options..." from the Edit menu.
3) Click the "Open Publisher" button


To break the connection, follow these steps:
1) Select the subscriber.
2) Choose "Subscriber Options..." from the Edit menu.
3) Click the "Cancel Subscriber" button.

Once you break the connection, the subscriber is no longer automatically updated when the publisher is changed.
