Remove
Mod Details action - use the "Delete" button to remove the Mod from your computer entirely.
Report
Mod Details action - use the "Report" button to report the Mod to Bohemia Interactive. The report reason can be one of:

- Other - e.g ripped content

Debug Mode
Using the WORKSHOP_DEBUG define through the scrDefine startup parameter adds a combo box allowing a mod creator to select a specific Workshop mod version.
