Hi, I have a generic reader in my workspace which allows me to read in all types of file formats. However, I believe that in order to set the parameters for the different types of file formats, I need to add to my workspace, a reader for the particular file format I want to set the parameters for. I have done this, but I want to now remove the reader from the canvas but keep it in the Navigator window. I managed to do this once awhile ago, but now I have no idea how I did this. Any ideas?

Do you not get this option when you delete from the canvas? Then you just say No which will keep the reader in the navigator

You can also consider adding it as a resource rather than to the canvas.

Thanks @jdh​  I didn't think of trying that either!
