Before you start

Adopt a change in your cloud drawing first. Its red cloud is a markup linked to the comparison row.

Steps

1. Select the cloud

Choose Select (V) and click the red cloud. Its handles appear, and its comparison row highlights. That shows which result it came from.

Actual selected cloud and its highlighted Adopted row

Use the properties bar to change its color or line weight. These changes keep the link.

2. Move or resize it

Drag the cloud or its handles. Deta shows this prompt:

Actual prompt after moving a linked cloud, with Revert and Unlink buttons

Choose the outcome you want:

  • Revert: put the cloud back over the original change and keep it linked.
  • Unlink: keep the edited cloud as independent markup. The comparison result becomes available for review again.

Clicking outside the prompt keeps both your edit and the link.

3. Check the result

After Unlink, the red markup stays, but its original row is no longer marked Adopted. Adopting that result again creates another cloud; it does not reconnect this one.
