Unlink assets from Creative Libraries
After I drop an asset from the library in a document, I want to be able to unlink it, and remove dependencies to an external library.
In my case, I'm using library to build products that I'm selling, so when I export the products for sale, I need to remove the dependencies to these libraries.
Any designer who sell his products, or share with people external to a team, would have the same need.
We need to keep the flexibility of using a library (to update changes through multiple documents), but we need to make these documents self sufficient.

As stated in the comments, one can place a library item as an unlinked copy with Opt/Alt+dragging on canvas. To embed linked copies, a user can press the Embed button in Control / Properties panels, or choose Embed Image(s) command from the Links panel's flyout menu.

Click on Linked File on your Artboard. Find ''Linked File'' button in left upper window corner. Click the button and find small menu button. Click ''Embed Image(s)''. Done.

@Mark Nicoll that's the solution I needed, thank you.

Do you know about alt-dragging items out of the library to embed them rather than link them?
Sorry if that's not the issue you're referring to, the above works fine for me.
