Can't customize component

I have a custom component that is being used but I can't find it in the component folder to try and make changes to it. Can anyone point me in the right direction to finding custom components. FYI I can only see like 5 components in the components section where as I see a ton of custom component options in the the pages section.

    At this point we are trying to gain access to all components to make changes to the UI. In this particular case we are trying to add another button to the side of it that looks like the rest there but links to an external site.

    If you have access to the code, I'd just create a new component called theme-lib.tiled-node-navigation@override and make the changes in there. 

    If you don't have access to the code for the original component, lmk and I can provide it.

    I don't have that access so if you could that would be awesome!

    tavasjn24 Did just using the name  theme-lib.tiled-node-navigation.ftl work with overriding the theme component? I forgot it isn't a core component, but a theme component, so @override won't work.

    Yes it did work thank you very much for your help! Do you know how I can go about getting access to the rest of the components and the css files? 

     

    Again thank you for your great help!

    Which components do you want access to?

    I don't see any components or any content on that page. 

    Generally, you would add whatever components you want to the quilt for that page.

    If you want to edit core components, use the @override. Otherwise for theme components just overwrite them.
