Unregistration is a dangerous operation. Some of the implications of this are:

  1. Edits made to that Table are lost. If edits need to be retained, it is possible to first download all the edits before unregistration, then after reregistration post them all back again to retain the edits history.
  2. The TableRid changes. Often, queries in Slate dashboards reference the TableRid, so they may stop working.
  3. The Table will not be searchable until a reindex has finished following reregistration.
