During swapping, the first feature in the <b class="uiTerm">Part Navigator</b> is made the current feature to avoid many of the potential update failures. After swapping is completed, it is required to make the last feature in the <b class="uiTerm">Part Navigator</b> tree the current feature to complete the entire update process. This process will allow users to have a chance to inspect the update failure of each feature individually if failure does happen. If the swap function failed, a swap failure message is displayed instead, and an UNDO occurs.
