# Disconnect an email from an automation

[BetaThis feature is new and we're actively working on it.](/beta-experimental-features/#beta-features)

You can disconnect an email from a campaign, API-triggered broadcast, newsletter, or transactional message made in Design Studio so you can use it elsewhere.

You can also [duplicate the message](/journeys/file-manager/#duplicate-files) to use it in another automation.

## Disconnect message from an automation[](#disconnect-message-from-an-automation)

To disconnect a Design Studio message from a campaign or API-triggered broadcast, delete the email block from your workflow.

To disconnect a Design Studio message from a newsletter or transactional message, you can either switch to another message type (then back to “Email” if you want a different email connected) or delete the automation and start over.

After you disconnect the message, your message will update to *Unused* on your Design Studio dashboard.
