There is a bug in the latest build of elements with the svg component. Previously, I could drag an svg icon onto the svg component and it would update to the one I dragged. Now, if I drag a svg from the finder onto the svg component nothing happens. I can however drag it onto the image well of the svg component. If I drag a different svg onto the svg component it reverts to the initial state of the svg.

I can confirm this is not working, the only way you can currently accomplish this is by dragging from the resources.

I find that if I close Elements and reopen that the file is there as it should be. Just doesn’t update live… sometimes. Mostly if I change back and forth a bit.
