Change driven dimension to a regular dimension?

How do I change a driven dimension back into a regular dimension? I have a bunch of equations linked to one specific parameter, but I want to change that parameter from being a driven to a regular one. just don't want to have to delete it and redo all the equations again.

Find the dimension in the sketch, click on it then toggle the driven dimension icon.
More than likely, if the sketch is fully constrained Inventor will tell you the sketch will be over constrained when you do this.
You will need to toggle another dimension to relax the sketch then toggle the dimension in question.

Yeah, I actually just found that button a minute ago and already changed it. I never had a need to before so I never knew how to do it.

And that's why after almost 9 years I still keep finding new things in the
