Once two studies are linked, there are certain considerations that you need to take into account when working with the linked studies:

• Only users with “Manage Forms” rights can see the “Study link” option from “Study Structure” tab. This right is necessary in both the test and production study.
• The linked test study cannot be set to “live” and the status option in the Settings tab is disabled.
• The type of the two linked studies cannot be modified and the Type option in the Settings tab is disabled.
• The linked production study structure cannot be edited. It is only possible to export the structure in the linked production study.
• Linked studies cannot be archived. To archive a linked study, you will need to unlink the study first.
