    Hi,

    Updating your top level entity from pin planner will erase all your modifications you have made in this. Obviously.

    In your top level entity, you may instantiate your other entities with port mapping.

    In quartus, Menu Project->Add/Remove files...

    Don't update your top level entity from pin planner.

    ...

    And compile...
