In this video I walk you through the “right way” to update a schematic component when you’re using Altium Develop with an Altium Workspace—especially if you’re a small business, startup, or you’re just getting your PCB hardware workflow off the ground. The key point is: this is not the typical local-library-only flow. If you don’t have a Workspace, this exact procedure won’t apply, but if you’re in an SMB or enterprise-style environment, this is how you set yourself up for scalable, business-friendly best practices. I start with a resistor on the schematic that’s basically missing critical info (like the footprint). From there I show how I use the Properties panel to identify what’s missing, copy the manufacturer part number (MPN), and use Manufacturer Part Search to pull the correct part from online sources. Instead of just placing it directly (fastest) I add it to my Workspace so everyone on the team can access it, and so we can actually build a real component library over time. I also show how I sanity-check stock and model availability, grab a clean description (I like pulling it from Digi-Key), save to server with a clear commit comment, and then find/place the part from the Components panel. Finally, I demonstrate swapping the old schematic part without leaving ugly wire “bumps,” so your schematic stays clean and maintainable.
