It is also possible to unlink records with the unlink icon in the top right corner of the selected card design. Select a record and click on the “Preview card design” tab to see a preview of the card design linked to the record.
The warning icon lets you know an action is needed for this card design. Click on the card design to see which actions are needed. An action can be that an update is available for the design for example.

The card design icon gives a quick navigation to the card design settings of the selected card.
