      I just found a annoying bug when inserting a component in SketchUp 2015.

      Scenario:

      1. build a component
      2. save the component on disk from the sketchup file
      3. edit the saved component separately (just to make it look different, or whatever)
      4. try to insert that component in the original file, along with the original component, or try to replace it (by using Replace Selected option in Components window).
      5. SURPRISE ! - you will actually insert the ORIGINAL component, not the edited one. Whatever you do (changing original component's name, purging file, etc) won't help you insert or replace with the new edited component.

      Feels kind of annoying.

        Have you tried selecting an instance of the original [unedited] component > right-click > context-menu > Reload...
        It should then re-import and use the edited 'external' version...
