This means that if you have two products, `prod1` and `prod2`, and you add a new component `component3` to `prod1`, that component won't exist within the scope of `prod2`. You can create tickets associated with `prod1` and `component3`, but you can't create tickets associated with `prod2` and `component3`. If you then create a component `component3` for `prod2`, `component3` for `prod1` and `component3` for `prod2` will be unique instance, so that if you, for example, change the owner for one, it will not affect the other. I think you should not fear looking at the Trac documentation if you want to know some details about "components", you just need to understand the scope of these objects, and adequate documentation for that is still forthcoming. Don't hesitate if you have additional questions. - Ryan
