How to deal with detached instances

When you find a detached instance, there are two approaches you could take to bring your design back to consistency: restore the instance or extend the component. Using Master and Fix Detached Instances plugins you can choose which approach to take.

1. Reattach: use Fix Detached Instances plugin to restore the instance back to the original state without losing overrides. In order to preserve overrides, make sure the detached instance has the same layer order and hierarchy as the original main component.

2. Extend: find the detached instance using Fix Detached Instances and use Master → New Component from Objects feature in order to create a new component from it. Then simply move the newly created component to the variant set together with the original component.
