How To Unlink Participants
Suppose you want to Unlink Participants. In that case, you can follow a very similar approach as you did if you initially linked them manually through the Check-in page. It's easy!
Select the linked participant and click the "Unlink" button.
To start, from the main Auctria Dashboard, click on the "Participants" entry in the sidebar to open the Participants dashboard page.

An example from a demonstration event. Note that linked participants will have the same Paddle#.All of your registered participants will be listed here. You must click the Next button beside the participant you want to unlink (their Paddle# will change). This will open their check-in participant record.
On the check-in participant record, click the "Unlink Participant" button to open the pop-up window where you will select another participant you want to link to the participant record you are viewing.
