Thanks for tagging me @Sanjay. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer The "invalid shared component id" error typically occurs when a Component node in your flow references a shared (Library) Component that has been deleted or is no longer accessible. [(1) ]() Here's what likely happened and how to resolve it: If a library Component was deleted: When you delete a library Component, agents that used it keep a local copy but stop syncing with the deleted library item. However, if the reference wasn't properly converted, you may see this error. Steps to fix: 1. Check if the Component still exists in your Library Components (left sidebar → Components tab) . 2. If the Component was deleted, you'll need to either: - Remove the Component node from your flow and re-add the logic directly - Create a new Component with the same functionality and reconnect it 3. If you want to prevent future sync issues, you can turn off syncing for a Component to convert its reference to a local copy. To edit the Component properly: - Click "Edit Component" on the Component node, or open it from the Components tab to modify its internal nodes. If the Component still exists but you're still seeing the error, this may be a bug worth reporting to Retell support.
