Hi, thanks for the report. This report is same as #98783 (Appending collections always links it instead.)
Try the workaround mentioned below

In #98783#1372704, @PratikPB2123 wrote:
Disable instance option from redo panel after you drag collection instance in viewport.

Does this work for you?

I see. That option is only available when instancing asset in another .blend file
Other workaround would be: enable parent option from redo panel after running make instance real

Thanks a lot, got it.
I'd like check Parent and Keep Hierarchy in the Make Instances Real panel could be the default options. Looking forward to future improvements.

Btw, Shift-Ctrl-A in the manual is the shortcut key for Make Instances Real, but it doesn't seem to have this shortcut in fact.

Btw, Shift-Ctrl-A in the manual is the shortcut key for Make Instances Real

Shortcut is available in 27x keymap and not with default one: https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/release/scripts/presets/keyconfig/keymap_data/blender_default.py$4571
@Blendify , which shortcuts are exactly listed in manual. From default blender keymap? If so, we could remove shortcuts from other keymap mentioned in manual to avoid confusion
