When a Master Project Specification, a Master Folder or a Master Clause is deleted the content will still remain in the specifications/projects you have copied the Master to. However, the link back to the Master project specification will be lost. The Masters Rosette icon will still appear to show that the content was brought in from the Masters, however, when you click the rosette a message will appear to say The Master Is No Longer Available.
You may also see this message within your Masters Folder. This indicates the Master Clause has been copied from another Master Folder or Master Project Specification that has since been deleted.
Prior to deleting a master, if it has been used in a specification, you will see the rosette icon to indicate that it was generated from a master.
Clicking this Icon will enable you to see which Master Folder and Master Project Specification this clause came from and the original content of the Office Master Clause.
