Option to enable or deactivate Detach link in related record views

You now have more flexibility when structuring your object pages. With this release, you can enable or deactivate an additional property in the page editor for related records. The option to enable properties gives you more control over what actions users can take on the page.

Details

Now, when you include a related records section on a page, one of the actions available is Detach. Users can select Detach to remove a relationship to the record object.
