Hello @Danny, This feature is for component. If in your project, you have added a library. In this library, there are components. You can use them in your project, but you will not be able to modify them With the feature “import & edit”, you can import this component from an external library. This component will be added to the library of your current project and you will be able to edit it. You will no more use the component of your external library, but the version that you imported in the library of your project ---

why do the components UI disappear when I import it? like if its a button, the button will disappear. When do i need to click the toggle “Swap all existing instances”?
