I would like to update a button component…so you know, thousands of instances are already in use across many design files. I would like to add an extra element but I would rather like to avoid turning it off (by boolean switch) on 99.99% of instances by hand. At the same time, would be great to keep it visible on the master component in a library so frontends will easily understand all possible scenarios for the component.


I was thinking about an example on a side with all elements visible but not every size is the same - different variants of the same sub-element (i.e. smaller or simpler for smaller sizes). It would lead to basically duplicating the whole thing…


Does anyone know if it is somehow possible? By trick or plugin…dunno.

Hi @Amadeusz_Wasik, Thanks for contacting us regarding this matter.


It seems that you will have to manually select each instance and set the new element toggle to off.

I have done some research and came across plugins that could assist you in selecting multiple instances at once:



While it may not completely meet your requirements, it might help minimize the need for manual work. Feel free to explore on your own: https://www.figma.com/community.
