      Tips and tricks

      Inspire checks to see if the component(s) you want to add are in another assignment, project workflow or review workflow.

      • You see warnings if a component is already in use.
      • If you want, you can close the warnings and create the assignment or workflow anyway.
      To find a component, in Search, enter part or all of the name of the component.
      When you add a component to an assignment, on the Select Components screen, you can set the number of components listed per page. At the bottom of the list, next to Items per page, from the dropdown menu select a quantity.
      Inspire remembers how you customize this setting. The next time you open the Selected Components panel, Inspire uses your choice instead of the default. If you want Inspire to forget your customization and return to showing the default number of Items per page, you must re-select the default or clear your browser's cache.
  8. On the Update Assignment dialog, click Update.

    You can see the updated component list in the Assignments pane, in the assignment's row under the Components column.
