Creating Colorway Overrides
There are many different override combinations that can be applied. This section demonstrates how to create a colorway override using columns and rows. You can follow these same steps to create an override for any variation combination.
* 
The use of columns to create overrides is only supported for the colorways variation. To create overrides for other variations, you must use rows.
Colorway overrides are generally applied for one of two reasons:
To specify a different color for the given component for each colorway. Colorways may inherit the top-level color. The color control mode of the assigned material determines which colors are available for the colorways on the given component.
To indicate that the material, supplier, or color varies by colorway.
You can override the color for a colorway using the colorways columns, or through the colorways rows. Colorway overrides are created most easily using the colorways columns.
