Use the Authority Record Deletion Options dialog box to:

• Delete the heading and tag in linked bibliographic records - Select Delete linked headings (bibliographic).
• Delete the linked authority headings - Select Delete linked headings (authority).
• Break links to any bibliographic headings linked to the authority record - Select Unlink headings (bibliographic). The heading remains in the bibliographic record as an unauthorized heading.
• Break links to any authority records linked to this authority record - Select Unlink headings (authority).
• Convert the 5XX tag in linked authority records to a 4XX tag - Select Flip the linked authority headings. Selecting this option converts the 5XX tag (See Also From reference) in the linked records to a 4XX (See reference). The Flip linked headings option is available only when an authority record is linked to the authority record you are deleting.
