      <p class="para_topic">Once the part is withdrawn, your <b class="uiTerm">PIC</b> display will update to reflect this state. Other participant <b class="uiTerm">PIC</b> displays will remove the part from collaboration under your name. If only one other participant has the part in collaboration, the part is automatically removed from their list. In our ongoing example, Julie would be unaffected by Jeff's part withdrawal action, but Steve will no longer have any part in collaboration.
