To Create and Delete Stand-alone References

Stand-alone references do not have grouped links beneath it and the user selects the link directly to open the referenced page.

Note: All stand-alone references will appear in alphabetical order and at the top of your references in the References card. If you have grouped references, your stand-alone references will appear above them in the References card as seen in the previous figure.
Note: You cannot set security on stand-alone references. In order to see scope specific references, the user must have that scope set as visible.
