Importing components from schematic to PCB

I'm in the process of evaluating CircuitStudio and am struggling to get components from my schematic into a pcb document. I've followed the steps shown here: Tutorial Steps | Online Documentation for Altium Products

My components are split across two schematic libraries I've created. For some reason all the components of one library are not being imported into the PCB. When I ask to show differences I see the following screen:

When I try to update the PCB I see:

Followed by:

None components (R/L/C) from one of my two libraries are shown in the "add components" section and when I execute the ECO they don't show up in the PCB document. Any suggestions for how I can get these parts into the pcb?

Hi and thank you for evaluating CircuitStudio. None of your images have come through so I'm taking a guess as to what could be wrong. Have you created the libraries (SchLib and PcbLib) as part of your current project? If they are part of the project then the components should be found otherwise you might need to add the libraries to the library search path. Is a footprint assigned to each schematic symbol and if so if there a correspondingly named footprint in your pcb library?

To help with the evaluation have you taken a look through the video tutorials? Worth taking a quick look as it might help with understanding the product concepts.
