The component is ready to be used now.
Refer to the component's Readme for further instructions.


B. Updating an already installed component

1. From the Ossn component panel choose the component you want to update

2. Click the red 'Delete' button (see picture above)

3. Confirm the 'Are you sure you want to delete this component?' question

Now, that the outdated component has been successfully removed from your site, turn back to Chapter A. and simply repeat the steps as you did for the first-time installation with the latest available component release.
