How to edit individual parts within imported assembly

Hello. I want to edit individual parts within a CAD assembly that I imported. I created a new assembly and imported my CAD assembly into it, but am stuck here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    When you import an assembly, it's actually imported into a part studio. You can either edit that part directly in that part studio, or you can start a new part studio and use a Derived feature to import only the part you want to edit.

    @dan_engerer Based on the method of import it will either create all the parts in entire part studio or it will create multiple sub-assembly tabs and respective part studios. For second case where sub-assembly tabs are created when you right click on any part in assembly you will get the option "Switch to xxxxx" (xxxx indicates the name of part studio which contains the parts from assembly) Once you click on that option it will navigate you to the part studio where you can edit the parts.
