Possible to deactivate studies without removing them?

I've got a whole pile of studies on a chart from various experiments I've been conducting, and now I'd like to remove a bunch that I don't think are needed anymore. Unfortunately if I remove them and it turns out they *were* needed somewhere, I can't undo the removal, and re-adding them will put them in with a different ID therefore breaking their original connection. Hiding only removes the visual but doesn't actually disable the study.

Is there a way to deactivate a study without removing it?

you could hide them.. see "Hide" checkbox below the settings button

Thanks but hiding doesn't help because the studies are still processed by other studies that use them. I want to completely disable them so I can see if any other study needs the deactivated studies, and if not then I can safely remove them.

Hide won't help.

My recommendation: Make collections of studies (.StdyCollct extension) to avoid losing your settings and then remove them.

Thanks Ackin, that was what I had concluded as well, that and saving the chartbook, removing whatever, then if there are problems reloading. Shame you can't just deactivate.
