From version 1.6.5 of the Design Tool the user will be informed if there are components that can be updated in a layout. A component update can either be minor or major. The severity of the update will be shown when the user has loaded a saved layout.
Minor changes
Minor changes may be simulation updates, geometries that do not impact major parts of the layout.
Major changes
This may or may not impact the bill of material, and therefore it is important to update the components as soon as possible.
How to update a component
