Action

Result

Ungroup a Generative Object

Generative Object loses all its linked variations.

Re-run Text to Vector Graphic (without ungrouping the Generative Object)*

The new Generative Object replaces the old one but retains all the previous linked variations.

Create a copy of the Generative Object

The copy inherits all the linked variations. If you run Text to Vector Graphic on a copy, the new variations are linked only to that copy.

Deleting one instance of a linked variation (if multiple copies of a Generative Object exist)

Deleting one instance of a linked variation won't affect the other instances.

Note

You can't re-run Text to Vector Graphic if the Generative Object is ungrouped.
