*E.g. you try to delete "Sub-fonds" from the ''Levels of description'' [[Taxonomy|taxonomy]], but you get an [[Error message|error message]]; this means that one or more [[Archival description|archival descriptions]] has "Sub-fonds" as the value in the ''Level of description'' field.

*As of the current version of ICA-AtoM (v1.0 beta), the delete [[Error message|error message]] is not very informative and only indicates that an error has occurred but not which error or why; this will be addressed in a future release (post-1.0).
