Unlinking Tokens

When I create a token and link it to a monster, if there are multiple copies of that monster in the room (4 orcs), I tend to simply copy and paste them and then put them into the correct location... But, as I found out last weekend, if I edit one (-4 hp for instance), the other tokens edit also.. Is there some way to unlink the tokens or do I have to create a new instance of each when I set up the encounter? It seems like something simple and I am just hosing it up but thought I should check before I run wild deleting all the work I had done. Thanks.

You just change it to represent none/generic token and that unlinks the token but leaves the stat bars as is. If you have token macros made for those tokens you can instead just unlink the bars 1,2,3 or just a specific one. I usually unlink the hp if it is a bulk amount of creatures.
Yeah pretty much just link HP then unlink it only real way at this point.
Set the drop-down to HP and then it will match your bars to the number. Uncheck HP as an attribute and the numbers will remain. Since it's not linked anymore, it will move independently. If you want to be able to drag these straight out of your sidebar, then you should open the character sheet, remove the default token, and reload the new (unlinked) one.
outstanding.. thanks.
No need to unlink the token. Just unlink the HP bar as Robert R suggests.
