3. Click the Load OSLC Links from Active Model button. The OSLC Links by Server section is populated with a list of servers by name that have OSLC links in the selected model (not all mapped servers). Any servers listed in red are shown as a URL indicating that the server is not mapped (most likely the mapping for this server has been deleted). The number of OSLC links is shown by each server.
4. Select and expand the Modeler server in which you want to update the links. When you select and navigate each level within the server, the corresponding level on the right pane is enabled.
