As we mentioned in the previous section, "Editing a Library item," the Property Inspector offers some options for working on Library items. The previous section explained how to edit the Library item using the Open button, but there are two as yet unexplained buttons on the Property Inspector, Detach from original and Recreate. Detaching a Library item doesn't remove the item from the page. It breaks the connection between the copy of the Library item on the current page and the original source in the site's Library folder. If you later update the original Library item, the current page's code won't be changed by the update. Sometimes you can have a page that contains the code from a Library item that was removed from the site's Library folder (or never existed there). For example, let's say that you copied a page (that contained a Library item) from one of your sites to a different site. The site that now contains the page will not, of course, have a corresponding Library item in its Library folder. You can use the code in the current document to re-create the Library item in the new local site. To detach the Library item:
