 ⚠️ Warning: Just like regular log/send calls, overlapping component types still overwrite each other.
 E.g. overriding a box radius will also override point radius on the same entity.
 In a future release, components tagged with a different archetype or field name can live side by side,
 but for the moment the Viewer is not able to make this distinction.
 For details see [#6889](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/issues/6889).

+### Visible time range overrides have to specify the underlying archetype

+(Note that this functionallity broken in at least Rerun 0.21 and 0.22 but is fixed now. See [#8557](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/issues/8557))
