Reattach Instance

Reattach Instance

Relink a frame to a component by searching for similar instances. --- Use cases: • Copying a nested component • Moving the master component to a different file • Turning a set of similar frames into a component • Turning detached instances back into instances --- How it works: 1. Select frames (that used to be instances) 2. Click "Plugin/Reattach instance" 3. Plugin finds instances or master components with the same name 4. New instance is created for each corresponding frame 5. The selected frames are replaced by instances 🎉 👉 NEW: Overrides will now be applied to instances! --- Known problems: • Relies too much on layer naming • Needs to have an instance/master as a reference on the same file • Doesn't work all the time with team libraries Feel free to contribute 😅 https://github.com/renancamm/figma-reattache-instance
