Auto apply the latest version for link components

[leo810304]

I have a project that reuses a component in serval different designs, so I insert that component to those designs as linked components. The problem is when I modify that master component, all designs won't apply for the changes unless I open them one by one and click the "get latest version" button to update the designs. Is there a way to avoid these steps and sync the component between designs in real time?

I is not automatic but I think it is a lot easier, you can select "Open on the Web" from the Data Panel and there you can click on Recent Activity, select the assemblies you want to update and then select the newer available version when it comes up.  It is not automatic or a group update but it is a lot faster then having to open the assembly and update from there.  After you do this, you must come back and synchronize your Fusion 360 Data Panel.

Thanks for the help. However, when I followed the steps you provided, it didn't seem to update the design. After clicking "New version available", it only takes me to the file overview. The version is still the same and I can't find anywhere to apply to the latest version on the webpage. Am I missing something?

I apologize, I assumed which I should never do, that to get the latest version on A360 would update the model and it does not seem to be the case.  It is not anything you did or did not do, it was a failure on my part to verify the process.  I will continue to look for a solution.
