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
