   • To delete the component, select Delete from the menu.
   Note:

   These options are available only if the component is not being used in any application.

   A new version of the shared components is created.
10. In the Additional actions field, select an option to either publish the latest version or do it later.

    • Publish latest version: Publishes the latest version of the component.
      Note:

      For a shared component, only one version can be published at a time. So, any existing published version is unpublished and the new version is published.
