Reattach Instance (Figma Plugin)

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 😅
