Layer comps in a smart object
If you encounter a file where a layer comp appears, and the file is still in another file as a smart object, you can select the Smart object that contains the file, and the properties panel allows access to define layer comps in the source file.
This feature allows users to not edit smart objects in a timely manner, or to change the state of the smart object directly at the layer level.
