Create Component panel question

Can you access the settings, particularly Always Face Camera, and Set Component Axes after you've created your Component?

There are 2 ways to make a Component and only one of them leads me to the Create Component panel with those 2 settings.

I have a hotkey setup to Make Component and this takes me the Create Component panel.
Use the Right Click menu to Create Component, but this does not open the Create Component panel.

In my scenario I have spent time cutting out areas and drawing lines on a Plane that was flat against the ground.
When done I Group it, stand it upright, explode, then use my hotkey to Create Component and set Always Face Camera and set Axes.

But this time i can't explode my Group, when I do I loose all faces, the all just disppear.
It would be time consuming to try and redraw them all.

It would be great if I could just convert my Group to a Component AND access the two settings i need..

The Component Library Panel allows you to set what you need

Components Window, in my version.
Thanks the Always Face Camera setting is there.
