### 8.6.17. Editing a File’s Pedigree

You can use the Edit Pedigree action to specify the upstream dependencies for a file. The Edit File Pedigree dialog box shows the current upstream dependencies and enables you to remove existing ones or add new ones.

Figure 8.34: Edit File Pedigree Dialog Box

Note:

- If a Workbench project contains a repository file, the repository file will automatically become a dependency of the Workbench project when you upload the project to the repository, eliminating the need to manually define that dependency. Such dependencies are considered to be extracted dependencies in EKM. For more information, see Example 8.2: Dependency Diagram for a Workbench Project.

- Extracted dependencies are not displayed in the Edit File Pedigree dialog box, as they cannot be removed. Only user-defined dependencies are shown. For more information about dependencies, see Displaying an Object’s Dependencies.
