    **Direct Drop**\ This is a good option if you need to track dropped members within specific membership plans. When using a direct drop, the member's original "Membership Type" is retained, but their "Status" is changed to "Dropped." This allows you to generate reports that accurately reflect which members have dropped from specific plans. To do this, you may follow the next steps.

    **Drop to Prospect** By dropping a member to "Prospect," their "Status" remains "Active," but their "Membership Type" changes. This will not allow you to report on dropped members from particular Membership Types, but it is useful for members who would like to self-reinstate their membership after dropping themselves. They will be able to continue logging in and accessing the Prospect members area. There will be a link for the prospect to re-join as a member as long as the setting "Add Link for Prospects to Join on Main Menu" is checked in Configuration > Prospecting.
