Components

Components let you define reusable design elements. Change the component definition once, and all instances update automatically.

Creating a Component

1. Select one or more shapes
2. Create a component from the selection

The selected shapes become the component definition. The component appears in the components panel in the left sidebar.

Using Instances

Once a component exists, you can create instances of it. Instances are linked copies that inherit all properties from the component definition.

When you edit the component definition, every instance across your draft updates to match.

Managing Components

The components panel lists all components in the current draft:

• Rename — Change the component's display name
• Delete — Remove the component definition (instances become detached regular shapes)

Workflow Tips

• Use components for repeated UI elements like buttons, cards, icons, and navigation bars
• Nest components inside frames with auto-layout for building complete interface patterns
• Each component has a unique ID, so instances always stay linked to the correct definition
