Unable to nest components

Are there any restrictions on when components can be nested into each other? I’ve created 2 components, added 2 instances to a frame but it won’t let me nest them.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I’ve tried via drag & drop and via ctrl+x / ctrl+v but nothing works.

You can’t modify instances. You can only override certain properties of objects inside of them, but not add or remove objects. The purpose of component instances is to follow the layer structure of the main component.

Ok, thanks. I’ve just realized that it’s only possible to nest an instance of a component into another main component. Makes sense.
