Add or modify components

Learn how to manually add components (and component origins) to your projects, and modify the components captured in your projects.

You can manually adjust a project's software bill of materials (SBOM) by adding and editing components. This allows you to:

Add components to your projects that aren't captured in tests.
Assess the risk of components before you use them.
Add different versions of components to your projects.
Select a specific component origin (for components with multiple origins).

Please note:

You can add any component found in the Black Duck KnowledgeBase™ to your projects.
Note: If the component you wish to add doesn't already exist in the KnowledgeBase, you can submit a request to have it added.
Components you add manually are included in your SBOM by default.
Components you add manually can be triaged like other components.
It can take up to 60 minutes for changes (adding components, editing components, deleting manually-added components) to affect reports and dashboards.

Component activity log

Each time you add, modify, or reset a component, an event is captured in the component's Activity Log (which you can view when you triage the issue). See View component history (and activity log) for more information.
