What is the difference between an instance and a link?
| Type | Description | Appearance in the Project Explorer |
|---|---|---|
| Instance | An actual study object in a study |
Study objects that are instances appear in study object containers. For example, all study elements in the Elements container are instances. |
| Link | A link to a study object in a study. |
Study objects that are links appear as children in study object containers. For example, if a study event is a child of a study element in the Elements container, the study element is an instance, and the study event is a link. |
