Reusing, Updating and Unlinking Custom Components

Reusing Custom Components

To reuse a component in the same or a different application, follow these steps:

1. Press 'W' or select the component icon in the topbar to open the component library.
2. Navigate to the 'My Components' section.
3. Click on the desired component to add it to your design.

Updating Custom Component

When you need to update a custom component, follow these steps:

1. Select an instance of the custom component.
2. Make the necessary changes.
3. Click on the Component Icon in the middle of the toolbar (outlined-diamond icon).
4. Select 'Update all Instances'. All instances of that component will reflect the modifications.

Unlinking Custom Components

To unlink an instance of a custom component from the component's definition, follow these steps:

1. Select the instance of the custom component you want to unlink.
2. Click on the Component Icon in the middle of the toolbar (outlined-diamond icon).
3. Select "Unlink Component". Now the selected one is no longer an instance of the custom component.

Tip: Unlinking is what you might want to do if you want to create, for example, a Button that almost looks like a custom component you already created. You can add an instance of this custom component, edit and unlink it to create a similar button with changes that won't affect the whole custom component.
