A shared ancestor component contains a property that allows you to select existing shared ancestor component or create a new one. In this case, the ancestor component is included in the project tree as the other components. The ancestor component may be used with the descendant component only if it is created from a template registered in the descendant component or if the component type is registered in the descendant component. It is recommended that you always create a shared ancestor component through a descendant component.
