Is it possible to copy an existing element into an existing component? I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I have to ungroup the component, select all the items, including the new one, and remake the component.

You can copy or cut the element, after that go into the component and select one of the elements inside it, and then paste.

 

Xd won't allow you to drag it in for some reason 🙂
