Usability update to components
We’ve heard your feedback and made it easier for you to modify components (and every instance of a component) without making unwanted changes.

<p id="">Following the launch of <a href="<https://webflow.com/feature/symbols-evolved-to-components>" id="">components at Webflow Conf last year</a>, we've been listening and incorporating feedback from the community on ways to improve the feature. That’s why we’re reverting back to a previous behavior to edit components on the canvas that - per your feedback - is smoother and more intuitive. </p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:2400px" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="fullwidth" data-rt-max-width="2400px"><div id=""><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21d66c2300807SYGBDoubleClick2400x1400.jpg>" loading="lazy" alt="Now it's even easier to update your components without making unwanted modifications." id="" width="auto" height="auto"></div><figcaption id="">Now it's even easier to update your components without making unwanted modifications.</figcaption></figure><p id="">Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new:</p><ul id=""><li id=""><strong id="">Double click to edit the main component.</strong> Double-clicking anywhere on a component that is not connected to a property will now (once again) edit the main component. </li><li id=""><strong id="">Edit component properties on canvas. </strong>You can still select elements that can be customized via component properties, and edit them right on the canvas. </li><li id=""><strong id="">Improved labeling. </strong>We’ve also added clearer labeling to let you know whether you’re editing a component or one of its instances.</li><li id=""><strong id="">Easier menu navigation. </strong>Finally, we’ve made the menus for editing components and properties easier to navigate.</li></ul><p id="">Learn more about creating, managing and modifying components in <a href="<https://university.webflow.com/lesson/components>" id="">this Webflow University article</a>.</p>
