Out of a sudden, a component states “This component is not installed”. I don’t know which one it was, I know it was a navigation component I purchased from the store. How can I find out, which one is it, and does anybody know, why this happened. I didn’t change anything on the file since I worked the last time on it in February.

Can you check all your components are installed?

You can do this by going to the Purchases section in the Store.  
Hopefully this will also help you locate the exact component you think is missing.

I’d also recommend restarting Elements to see if that resolves the issue.

If that still doesn’t resolve the issue, you might want to check for Dev Components, perhaps this was something you installed from outside the store? You can check this under Preferences \> Addons

Let me know how you get on.

**Edit:** If this doesn’t resolve the issue, can you send us your project via Elements Cloud so we can take a look and get it fixed for you.
