When a component is added to the video canvas:
On the canvas, the component is highlighted. It can be dragged to reposition and its edges can be dragged out or in to adjust the dimension. There is also a 3-line icon on the top left corner of the component
The component is listed in the components manager, just below the canvas
The following actions can be performed from the 3-line icon, on the component, within the canvas:
Move forward: Clicking on this will adjust the relative ordering of component layers. It will move the selected component to the front

The component Manager, allows you to perform the following actions:

2. Save the component: Click on the Save button, and enter the component name. This component will then be saved for later use and can be accessed under Saved Components
3. Hide the component: Clicking on the hide icon will hide it from the video, without deleting the component
4. Delete the component: Clicking on the trash icon will delete the component altogether
