Question

Where did the "Main Component" menu go?

When working in a design file that used components from a component library, when right-clicking on a component, there used to be a menu for “Main Component.” This was especially useful because then I could select the option for “Go to main component.” As of a few months ago, I no longer see this option. I only see the “Go to main component” option if I’m working within the component library. If I’m working in other files that reference the component library, I don’t see the menu. Does anyone know why this no longer shows up?

You should see a “Go to main component in Library” button in the properties panel. It looks like a share icon rotated 45 degrees.

      Ok, turns out that the solution was for me to close and reopen the file. I reviewed Gleb’s file above. I had edit access to both the design file and the component library. Additionally, the component library was added to the design file. Neither the menu option nor the button that Jake_Moore1 mentioned were visible for me. After closing/reopening the file, I saw both the menu option and the button.
