      How do I take an existing component, take one instance of it, modify it and make it into a new component with a new name, without disturbing the original component and its instances? Thanks.

        Right click and select the make unique option.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          Then go to the Entity Info box and give it a new name. 😉
