Note: This only applies to manually managed dimensions and hierarchies or automatic dimension updates which do not run dimension.wipe / dimension.createOrWipe.

Sometimes when building a new model or adjusting a model over time, N-level (bottom level) elements can be added to hierarchies and then removed which leaves them in the dimension but not in any hierarchy. The typical way to remove these historically is to setup a process to call element.remove to specifically remove the floating element.

There is a new "Dimension Audit" function in the gateway portal which lists elements which are in the dimension but not in any hierarchy and allows for a quick removal.
