    Important When you delete an action link group template, you delete its associated action link templates and all action link groups that have been instantiated from the template. The action link group is deleted from any feed elements it has been associated with, which means that action links disappear from those posts in the feed.

    1. Click the name of its master action link group template.
    2. Click the Action Link Template ID to open the detail page for the action link template.
