What is the different between Insert New Component vs New product?

[ahteck88]

In Assembly, we can Insert either New Component or Product. But What is the different between them? Any pros and cons?

Thanks.

a New Product is a new CATProduct containing instances of CATIA parts and assemblies. It can be saved with it's own name as an independant file. It can be opened by itself.

a New Component is similar, but it is not saved as an independant file. It is saved with the parent assembly. It cannot be opened by itself.
