# Each time the sprite sheet changes, I have to update the physics shapes!

To avoid this issue, add individual sprites to your PhysicsEditor project instead of the complete sprite sheet.

This has two advantages:

*   You can easily refer to the physics shapes by their name
*   Sprite sheets can be repacked without changing the physics shapes
