The Component Library in the Project Explorer
In the first position below the Project node in the project tree is the 
Component Library. It contains only the Material Models at the start of the project. Then it fills up with all components used in the project during the course of the project.
As soon as you drag a component from the Component template library to the scheme, it is included as a global instance of the component in the Component Library of the project in the Project explorer. The components can then be copied back to a scheme by drag-and-drop from the Component Library. The prerequisite for this is that there is not yet a component with the same name (local instance) on the scheme.
If you click on a component in the Component Library with the left mouse button, information about the version and revision numbers of the component is displayed on the right of the work surface.
Right-clicking on Component Library opens the following context menu.
Importing a Component or Creating From Template
The functions of the context menu Import components and Create component from a component template open the My Components folder in a selection window, in which your own components are typically saved:
C:\Users\$User name$\Documents\TOP-Energy\My Components.
You can also select any other directory in this dialog box as the source for importing or creating a component.
Components are marked with this 
symbol, component templates with this: 
.
The imported component is stored in the Component Library and can be dragged from there into the required scheme.
Removing Unused Components
The function of the context menu 
Remove unused components helps to clean up the Component Library. Once various options have been tested and in some cases discarded, components that were previously created but are no longer used in the project can be deleted from the Component Library. This gives you a better overview.
When saving the project, unused components are deleted automatically from the Component Library.
