2. Select the menu item Edit > Delete placement.

The selected functions that can be returned are converted into unplaced functions
(and deleted from the page).
Notes:
If a single object is selected that cannot be returned, then the menu item is

grayed-out.
If multiple objects are selected that cannot be returned, then the menu item is

also grayed-out.
Otherwise, If multiple objects are selected then only the returnable functions are

considered and all other functions in the selection remain unchanged.
