Change a Part on an existing component

Hello everyone,
I've recently started using OnShape and have previously worked a lot with Tinkercad, but since I now have a very complex component that I want to change, I've reached a limit with Tinkercad. With Onshape I was already able to implement a large part of the changes, but now I can no longer make any progress with a change. I have a curved bump that needs to be 1mm shorter. Unfortunately I can't find a tool with which I can do this.
Would I have to remove the entire bump and recreate it, or is there a way to simply shorten it by 1mm?
Thank you in advance for your help

It depends how you made it. If you click on it it will be highlighted in the history list on the left. Double click on the feature on the left to edit it and or see which sketch it uses. Open up the sketch and edit it if needed.
Generally you'll get better help if you make your doc public and provide a link so people can have a look at your model.
It might be worth doing some basic courses to get up to speed on onshape.

have you tried playing with 'move face'?
