Styles are not identified by their names in the Styles window; the names are there so you can tell them apart in the Styles window, but Moho actually uses an internal Style ID code to identify a Style and its settings.

Unfortunately, this means a Style with a completely different name and settings can have its settings overridden when artwork with a Style that has the same Style ID is imported, which can be very confusing if you're unaware of how this works.

When you import artwork with the Unlink Styles enabled, this forces Moho to change all of the Style IDs that exist in that artwork. Since the IDs no longer conflict, you can now have unique styles in the artwork. After you import the artwork, you can change the names of its Styles if want. (I recommend doing so, if only to make it easier on yourself when you have multiple characters in a project. Like my many cats in that Boss Baby episode.)
