2. Select the list icon (![List icon]()), and then go to ChangesAll.
3. Select the New button.
4. Select Add/Remove member to Topology.
5. Select Next.
6. In the Select topology field, select the network topology record that you want to modify.

## Result

When modifying a network topology record, the following actions occur:

* When you remove a topology site, all nodes and connections associated with that site within the topology are removed from the relationship.
* When you remove a topology or root node, all connections associated with the node within the topology are removed from the relationship.
* When you remove a topology connection, it's removed from the relationship.
* When a node is removed from the relationship, if it's part of a root node, that entry will also be removed.
