Activate/deactivate a standard text element

You can deactivate a standard text element if it is no longer valid. You cannot edit inactive standard text elements or add them to textual work instructions.

To deactivate a standard text element, select it and change its Is Standard Text Element Active cell from True to False.
To reactivate a standard text element, change its Is Standard Text Element Active cell back to True.
If the Is Standard Text Element Active column is not visible, use the Change Columns dialog box to display the Is Standard Text Element Active column.
You can still view deactivated elements.
