Component assets

Component replacement uses an immutable object revision registered as a linked asset on a product model. Registration and activation are separate: a REPLACE_COMPONENT visual effect activates the registered asset for a selected choice value.

ProductModel
├── root OBJECT link
└── component OBJECT link with stable key
        ↑
        └── REPLACE_COMPONENT value references this key

Current capability

The API supports createProductModelLinkedAsset with role: OBJECT, a stable key, and an object asset revision ID. The service validates that the revision exists and that component replacement references a registered link on the same model.

No component-registration control has been verified in the current Backoffice product workspace, and the current Editor has no registration UI. Do not follow instructions that mention an Editor Components panel or Register linked asset button.

Authoring boundary

• Use the API to register the linked object revision.
• Use the API/runtime contract to author REPLACE_COMPONENT where required.
• Expect the current Editor mappings panel to preserve/report the operation as unsupported, not edit it.

Verify

1. Query the product revision and confirm the linked asset has role: OBJECT, the intended key, and immutable revision ID.
2. Confirm the replacement effect's linkedAssetKey matches that registered key exactly.
3. Resolve the triggering selection and confirm the component revision appears in activeObjectAssetRevisionIds.
4. Switch away and confirm the renderer removes the component when it is absent from the next complete resolved state.
