I want to build one more passenger car through buying parts and not a whole set
since the last time I priced it the set was more expensive. I went all the way
through the Brinklink parts list and through the instruction manual to add the
parts. Somewhere along the line, I got timed-out and lost all the edits. Is
there an easy way to add or identify parts? Same question for swapping roof
colors on the clock tower. Seems like there should be an easy way to identify
pages, bags, etc. I may try ChatGPT -- which did not work the first time,
but in a word "Help"

Timed-out on BL?  When?  During part-out?

Build the set in Studio… or find someone who already did, for instance:
— LDD format: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/41226-key-topic-official-lego-sets-made-in-ldd/
— LDraw format: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/48285-key-topic-official-lego-sets-made-in-ldraw/
— LDraw: http://omr.ldraw.org/
(Check the notes for missing parts / errors.)
and import the set in Studio.

Help page for importing LDD files in Studio: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5606572365847-Import-a-LEGO-Digital-Designer-LDD-file
(Importing LDraw files is about the same, with fewer problems.)

Then you can delete what you don’t want and change/test colours easily (Studio
also gives you colour availability and prices).
Help page for colouring: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5411673129879-Coloring-parts
Prices and availability: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5705572363159-Parts-prices-and-availability


You can also import the inventory (not built) in Studio (useful to build the
set):
— in the build area: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/6153757706135-Import-an-official-LEGO-set-in-the-viewport
— as a palette: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5457935385239-Importing-an-official-LEGO-set-as-a-palette


Then upload in a Wanted List: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5705925898135-Upload-as-a-Wanted-List


Other Studio help pages: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us


   Seems like there should be an easy way to identify
pages, bags, etc.

LEGO doesn’t provide the info.
You tried to do it and saw it was a lot of work, why do you think it would be
easier for someone else?

Gah….
