# Important Notes * Custom components are associated with the signature of the component from which is was created. * ALL other components with the same signature, across all projects in the organization, will be automatically associated with the new custom component on rescan * Editing the component details associated with a project will NOT alter the underlying custom component details. You must use the "[Editing Custom Components](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-MivlZ8lOmEOYjSRFOgb/s/-MbsieSiu0D66DBFP4uh/~/changes/304/codecertify/component-management/editing-custom-components)" feature in order to alter the custom components meta data. Therefore, if you edit the licenses, copyrights, version or origin of the custom component associated with the project, those changes will ONLY apply to the project and NOT apply to other components with the same signature, even after rescan. * While project component changes do not affect custom component meta data, changes to the custom component WILL affect organization scoped matching artifacts during the next scan. * Any changes to the custom component will ONLY be applied after rescan. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
