Managing the components

In this document

We will explain how to manage and edit your components and show you the different statuses a component may have.

Components management page

This page is available to company editor and admin users only. Reader users do not have the option to manage components or add new ones.

You can view, edit, duplicate, or submit new components through the My components section.
You can edit or duplicate a component through the component’s options menu. The component’s details page will also open when you click the component’s name.
You can add new components manually or by importing.

Each component’s information, such as confidence class or status, is displayed on the list along with its last modification date.

Published components cannot be deleted from the catalog, as someone might have used them in their design, and they need to be stored for future reference.

The component’s status determines its editability, availability in the catalog, and possible actions. Once you have integrated your third-party application into your catalog account, you can use the components in your designs privately once they reach Validated status.

Editing your components
