How to Guide
Create a component inside a Container that can be used many times throughout and across projects.
- Click the + icon to open the list of elements.
- Select the Containers option from the list.
- Click-and-drag the Container element to the canvas.
- Add the desired elements to the container. These should contain general information to be used multiple times.
- Right-click inside the container once you are happy with the design and layout.
- Click the Save to My Components option.
- Add the component name and click the Save icon.
If the component is saved correctly, the Success pop-up appears.
- Click the Component option.
- Find the component saved under My Component and drag it to the strip.
The selected component is displayed on the strip.
Components are available across projects, and therefore, the mapping on elements outside the saved component that affects elements on the inside or mapping on elements inside the component that affects elements on the outside will be lost for the saved component.
