If I change a value I re-generate the project so the change is inluded in 
all the files, schematic, netlist, board.

As for heatsinks I have symbols for that if I feel I need to indicate that 
in the schematic, if not I just add the heatsink footprint in pcbnew.

You’ve never changed a resistor or capacitor value after bringing up a 
first-article board?

What about heatsinks that attach to TO-220 packages?
