Component and instances
A master component stores the design once and its instances repeat it everywhere. Change the master and every copy updates.
How to add
Select a group and press Make component. Then copy the component like any object: the copies become instances.
Properties
- Master
- The source component. Whatever you change in it is seen by all instances.
- Go to master
- A button in an instance that jumps to the source component.
- Detach
- Turns the instance into a plain group, independent of the master.
- Overrides
- An instance can override text, colour and other inner properties without touching the master.
Tips
- Good candidates for components: a button, a card, a wheel or any repeating block.
- Components can be connected from another project through libraries.
