Disassociating a synonym from its Preferred Name

Disassociating Synonyms

Along with features to delete terms and concepts, comes a slightly different need: what do you do when you have a single concept, with one or more synonym, and you decide that one of the synonyms isn't really a synonym at all but should be its own independent concept? Or that it really is a synonym of some other concept instead?

The solution to this is easy if you know what to do with the ID's; in the Term inspector, you can find out the UWDAID of some concept A, and then call up a Synonym of some other concept B and change its UWDAID to that of A. That's all there is to it. Unfortunately, this is not intuitive and if an actual author wants to do this kind of thing, it would probably be better to provide a more self-explanatory mechanism.
