How do you properly replace comp video with full rez video?

I'm editing a video for a client and I've been using stock footage from a few of the stock libraries and the client is about to sign off. Right now I have all comp videos that I've been using, but of course once I get the green light I'll need to replace those with the full rez versions. How do I properly replace those clips with the least amount of hassle or issues in FCPX?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Comp is what they call a video which has a watermark on it, and it's usually a smaller size than the original that you eventually buy. So I guess Comp stands for complimentary. But that's just a guess. My concern is that when I replace the comp clips with the full resolution clips things will screw up if I don't set up the project correctly, or use the wrong method for replacing them. I've set my FCPX project settings at 1920 x 1080 which is my final desired size. So my hope is that when I replace the smaller, watermarked clips the full resolution ones will simply replace them without any issues. Thanks for your help. I hope I've explained the situation clearly.
