You may also specify an Example File directory for the component, browse for the directory if necessary (...) and specify it’s Reference Designator, or enter a text Description for the component. The default Bitmap of the component is displayed at lower-right, and you may use the adjacent drop-down menu to specify a different bitmap file.

The Component Help area displays the default HTML help file associated with the component, and allows you to specify an alternative help file of your own. You may also Test the specified help file, which displays the component’s HTML help page.
