Effect of Deleting Add Ons

[Rosalind Loo]

Hi,

I was wondering if we delete an addon like Gliffy- do existing diagrams all disappear or will they remain?

Thanks in advance!

That very much depends on the add-on.  The data for add-ons usually remains intact when you remove one, but often becomes invisible or unusable.

For Gliffy, that works by attaching two files to a page, a gliffy coded file and an image to display that's built from the coded file.  If you remove the add-on, both files remain attached, but you won't be able to read or edit the coded file.  The image will still display.
