I have a file with a single component. Every instance can be followed to the main component in the documentation present in same file. I want to publish the file library so later I can Cut+paste it into another component library.

On the last step before publishing I have “Added (?)” message next to a few components (that work before publishing) saying:

“This component was moved to another file. Publishing this new copy won’t update instances in other files.”

The component wasn’t moved to another file. After publishing the library despite this message all local instances are detached and my only option to follow back to a component is to “Restore main component” - but the component was there anyways. When I click on “Restore main component” it places the same component on top of main component that was previously present.

When I delete the one that doesn’t work and publish the library again, same thing happens. I’ve added 20 components like this but did not face this problem. Faced this problem in only 2 components.

How can this issue be solved?
