Seems like I posted this before but couldn't find it so forgive me if I already logged this.
When doing a global replace of a shared conventional cell using the active cell the cells loose their active level status and revert to level default.
Both cells, existing and replacement were created on level default and therefore placed on the active level.
Corrections. These are conventional cells not shared cells. Share cells retain their level Conventional ones do not.

The components of a normal cell may live on independent levels. Are you saying that each component on the new replacement cell is moved to the default level?

This was a regular cell, 2x4, a light fixture created on level default. I then placed it in a drawing with active level set to E-LITE-CLNG and all cells are placed on that level. Now I need to replace 2x4 with a new cell 2x4b. I create that cell on level default in the cell library. In my active file I do a global fine and replace with active cell set to 2x4b. All cells are replace but they are now on level default, not E-LITE-CLNG
When replacing cells and you like to keep the cells level setting, you have to activate the "relative" option in the repacle cell dialog settings.The screen shot form V8i:
IMHO nothing change in concepts with the connect editon.
I AM WRONG! in the Connect Editon I'm missing the "relative option" .
But does they change something in the concept of handling the Cells levels
This was already answered somewhere ;-) For V8i
