Creating and using components

RSD V2: I see how I can create a component and place in my user component library.
How can I change the component (f.i. header row) and have the changes reflected in all pages which use the component?

Is it possible to change to text in the component or only css elements (that is also possible by using classes). I hope the text is part of the changeable component.

To your first post: If you want to make changes that will affect more than one page, then use 'symbols' instead if components.

Not exactly sure what you mean in your 2nd post. If you have a 'symbol' that is used on all the pages, and if you want to change something on just one page, you need to 'unlink' the symbol.
If you mean making changes to a component, I think you need to recreate the component with the changes. I don't think a component can be changed and resaved just like that, but I might be wrong.

Thank you, I am going to figure out the difference between component and symbol. And when to use which one.

Symbols are blocks of code that you can reuse over and over. Yes, this sounds like components but when you update your symbol it is updated on every web page.

A menu would be a good example for a symbol. Change the symbol menu once and it is updated everywhere.
