After linking panels, use the Circuit Manager to transfer the panel demand and connected load totals for
each load category from one panel to another.
To link panels in the same drawing:

Connections panel Connect To Other Panel
then...
the panel is added as a sub-fed panel to an existing
circuit in the linked panel.
the panel is added as a sub-fed panel to a feed-thru
lug circuit in the linked panel.
the panel is added as a subfed panel to a subfeed lug
circuit in the linked panel.
the panel is added as a subfed panel to a subfeed
