So I have just added a flex inside a component, and I can’t use it ride-away, I tried to add both text inside the flex but it just doesn’t work. I’t will only work if I save, quit elements and launch it again, then the flex works as it should and I’d be able to drag my texts inside the flex as usual. A bit annoying ![Screenshot 2025-03-06 at 08.36.11](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/e/2efa6ce2eb95b585878848d60a490a7964056c71.jpeg) Also the same happens with flex and container when it is duplicated without content.

I’m thinking this has something to do with it being a global 🤔 I bet it works as it should if it’s not a global… We’ll look into this and get it fixed! ---

Yeah I have this issues with Globals. Specially with `Flex` components. Normally I drag them out, rearrange and drag them back in. ---

We’ve reproduced it, and it’s on the list to fix! ---

By The Way, Is there a **main** component that when modified it makes changes to all other components, something like what happens in the main, changes the others. If there is! how do I identify the main component to change? Maybe I create another topic for it. Thanks you! ---

If there is! how do I identify the main component to change? Depends what “changes” you want to make, but the Theme Studio is there so you can make site wide changes to colour, spacing, shadows, font’s, etc…
