System Response

Nodes with new subnodes are colored yellow. New nodes are colored red.
To ensure your Enterprise IMG and Project IMGs are generated correctly,
you must either select or deselect each new node. When you have done
this they will no longer appear colored. To prevent inconsistencies,
the system will not let you generate IMGs while there are still yellow
or red nodes.

How to fix this error?

To select or deselect a node, place the cursor in the line concerned
and choose "Select" (or use the checkbox).
To select or deselect a whole subtree in the structure, place the
cursor on the top node of the subtree and click the checkbox. If you
have already deselected this top node but it contains subnodes that
have not been deselected, click the checkbox twice.
