Q: When I place my library object on a page when nothing is selected, it works ok. But if I replace an existing frame, my object gets distorted, some frames move or overlap. Why?
A: The problem is in the size tool for your frames. See the examples in Tool Examples for details.

Q: I edited the Tool on my object, but it was not saved.
A: The problem may be that you forgot to click the confirmation icon icon_ok on the Tool pane, before clicking another object. The save of changes is explicit - ie. you have to click the icon, otherwise it is discarded.

Q: When I place my library object on a page, some elements are not linked.
A: The problem may be in the Link tool attribute of your frames. Ensure that you selected it for all frames that are supposed to be linked.

Q: One frame in my library object is set to create an article, while other frames are set to link to that article. What happens indeed, is that - if there's already a current article on a page - some of frames link to it, while others link to the correct new created article. If there's no current article, the elements related to frames that linked wrongly if there was a current article, are not even added to the new created article. Why?
A: The problem is in the Z-order of your frames. The frame which creates a new article is not the frame with the least creation order. See Reorder frames in the flow for instruction on how to fix the problem.
