2. Re-using components

Using the 'Copy a component' or 'Link to an existing component' options on the Add component page you can re-use existing components.

  • Copy a component - this option provides you with an independent copy of an existing component. You can edit the new component and it will not affect the original. If you copy a folder, then all the components within the folder will also be copied.

  • Link to an existing component - if you choose this option then you just create a 'link' or 'shortcut' to an existing component. If you edit the the component, then the changes will be reflected in the original, or in any places the component is linked.

    You can link components in as many spaces as you want, but they can only appear once in each space or group.
