Visual Build is an approach for creating instances from within the ArchestrA Symbol Editor. The approach uses a wizard that opens when you embed a symbol from a template onto the canvas. 

As soon as you place the symbol on the canvas, the Configure New Asset wizard starts and allows you to configure and create the instance.

The general workflow for creating an instance from within the Symbol Editor is shown below.

Instances created using the Visual Build approach are the same as instances created using the normal derivation process.

For example: once created, the instances must be assigned to a valid IO Device and need to be deployed.
