Great for teams using Altium Develop This procedure is not your typical standard way to hide pin numbers without a cloud environment. So if you don't have workspace, this won't apply to you. If you're in enterprise or using Altium Develop with the workspace (can't get them separately), then I'll set you up for success in business best practices. If you're an electrical or electronics engineer looking to design printed circuit boards and hardware products, then you need to watch this video and take notes. @AltiumStories #altiumstories

About This Video

When you’re working off a company server/workspace and you need to make a “small” schematic symbol tweak that affects everyone, you can’t treat it like a one-off local edit. In this video I walk through the correct Teams/Enterprise workflow in Altium Designer using Altium Develop (the online workspace ecosystem). The example is simple—making pin numbers not visible on a schematic symbol—but the point is bigger: you need a controlled, traceable update path for anything that lives in the shared ECAD library. I start from the schematic where the symbol is already placed and showing pin numbers. Then I go: right-click the part → Part Actions → Show CMP (yeah, the naming is weird) → locate it in the workspace → Edit. Inside the component editor I toggle the pin number/designator visibility (the “I” option) so the numbers disappear. After that, I close/save, and I save to server—not just locally—and I leave a clear note describing the change. Finally, back in the design, I run Part Actions → Update Selected from Libraries, validate, execute the ECO, and the schematic updates. It’s a few steps, but that’s the cost of doing enterprise hardware work correctly. One wrong change or missing note can break a system-level design, so everything matters.
