When a sheet is inserted to a drawing it is NOT removed from the database. Instead it is flagged with Inserted=1, this means it has been inserted to a drawing.

So, Inserted=1 means the sheet is imported to a drawing and Inserted=0 means it is available for use.
This means that if you forget to register or the computer crashes the sheet is still available in the database.
