+Before you removing a fixture it is a good idea to consider what will be affected by this removal. If the fixture never has been added / programmed into a sequence then just remove it.\\
+But in the case where it has been programmed into a sequence then it will be a good idea to clean up the sequences.\\ This is to avoid a new fixture with another DMX table to be controlled by a sequence which is not programmed for it. It will mess-up your control.\\
-You will be given a prompt when you click the blue arrow that asks "Do you want to clean-up your sequences?". What the Sequence Cleaner does is enable you to select any sequences you have and removes the channels associated with the fixture you are deleting from them, keeping your sequences clean. What you decide here is up to you, experience and familiarity with the program will dictate in the end. For now just press the "No" button.
+So the advise is clean-up the sequence before removing the fixture. [[fixtures:adding_and_removing_fixtures#Cleanup sequences.|]]\\
