Moving Components

Hi Guys
Ii am in the middle of designing a small box with shelves. I was doing OK then I realized I need to move a component but this is associated with other components which all have constraints on based on one of my sketches.
I made my first error in my sketch labelled BoxWall. I added constraints and then extruded the wall sketch and change to component BoxSideWall.
My issue now is that I want to move my component 5mm from the side edge of the BoxWall without losing alll my other constraints. Even if I go back to the original sketch in the time line I do not know how to move this sketch 5mm in without removing many of the constraints I have added.
Is there an easy fix or do I need to delete my time line after the Sketch BoxWall. My file is attached

It is pretty easy to move the Extrusion of the BoxSideWall over 5mm.  Follow the Screencast.  You have an assembly issue you should try to avoid next time you create one.  Your component related sketches are at the assembly level instead of being at the related component level.  This can be avoided by creating your component first, then sketch and model your bodies in the active component.

Hi John Many thanks for the explanation, I can't believe how simple this was. I'm still learning Fusion 360 so I am sure I will have some other issue's as time goes on but how great to have a FORUM where these issue's can be discussed. Thanks again for your support
