editing referenced parts from other documents

IsoTherm

Greetings,
Is there a way to edit a part that I have inserted from another document
a) without having to go back to the original document and create a new version or branch
b) and keep the changes native to the document in which the part has been inserted?
Thanks

One way to accomplish this is with configuration variables.

Interesting, but it isn't really what I'm looking to do. 
Thanks though!

It depends on what you mean by editing and inserting. You can "insert" an Onshape part by using the derive feature (which can also pull in sketches or surfaces, which may be helpful). Then you can use regular Onshape features (sketch, extrude, revolve, move face, etc) on top of that. If you want to modify the features from the other part studio then Glen's suggestion about configuration variables makes sense. You can derive a configured part into another studio, where you can set the config variables to different values.
