This video shows users how to move a project and components in Altium Designer to Altium 365. It also demonstrates how to create a component library and auto match components from the project.

Agenda

Move the Project to Altium 365 - Open Altium Designer and verify connection to the Altium 365 Workspace. Make the project available online.

Create a Component Library - Create an integrated component library of the components, footprints, and schematic symbols in the project and import it into Altium 365.

Update Design References - Update the references in the project for the entire design by auto matching the items using the Tools Item Manager and save the project.
