Basic Assemly workflow when make small changes on parts

Often in a assembly you want to make some small changes on some parts and to get back to the assembly ( automatically !) updated with the changed part as it is a usual practice with other 3D modeler. What is the standard procedure to achieve this workflow ? I've no clue in the moment.

Thanks fo response

    Thomas - as it happens, there is a neat trick you can use to do this!!! :)
    RMB over the part in the assembly that you want to edit - select 'edit in context'.
    This will take you to the part studio containing the part. You will see the rest of the assembly ghosted - just ignore it.
    Make the changes that you want and then hit the 'Go to Assembly' button top center of the Part Studio graphics area - you will be taken directly back to the assembly.
    (Note - no 'Context' is created because you didn't reference any of the geometry from the assembly).

    I hope this helps - Philip .  . ..
