Hi there,
I have an issue with components. I created a simple photo card components
Flex column layout, image in absolute in background.
My problem is whenever I will change something on the original component, the component instances will not updated if I changed anything in them (text or image)
I made a quick video to show it : [Watch Enregistrement de l'écran 2024-07-16 150915 | Streamable](https://streamable.com/ufxtn6)
Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong ?
Thanks a lot !

You can define the text style then try

I’m not sure that would help, from what i’ve seen, updating the component style should update all of the instances too

Well, yeah it’s working on your example, but I don’t understand why it’s not working on mine 😅
I did the same thing, create a component, place it somewhere else, I just change the text, and from the moment I change the text, the component style is not updating anymore.
How do you changed the text ? Maybe I did it wrong and that’s why the component isn’t updating after changing it

Send the bug report, they can see what’s the exact problem.

Problem still happening, it’s a bit boring.
I wanted to use Penpot in order to create easily reusable components and it blocks me since I have to manually reupdate each component if I change the text…

I have the exact same Problem, on our self hosted instance and on penpot.app. @vivesh_ingle approach works, because he is changing the font style itself. But that would mean, that you would need Textstyles for every component (or you would change would change the styling in other components simultanously, what is ususally not what you want).
I really like penpot, but that’s is a big blocker at the moment.
