Skip to main content

I’m using a slot in a component so I can swap it out with another component instance (since it’s impossible to add anything inside a component instance).


Seems like a viable workaround. The problem is, the component instance does not show up in the list when I search for it under “Swap instance” and I have no idea why.

Also, I noticed that sometimes the option to select “Local components” (to show only those results, instead of a library) is missing. Again, no idea why.

In other files it looks like this:

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Dustin_Hansen2


Regarding Local component not showing up


Local component option only appear when there is at least one component in the entire file. Taking a deeper look at your screenshot it seems that your file has only one page (Page 1) with 2 component instance inside. (instance have a losange before their name while main component have a diamond: 💠). That’s why you cannot see the option Local component


“No result”


Since you don’t have any component in your file, it means that Tooltip.multiple-errors main component isn’t located in this file. Are you sure you added all the library needed for your project? ( Enable a library in a design file )


Hope it helped

Hi @Haroll , thanks for the reply.


My intent was to swap one instance for another instance.


I realize now that it doesn’t work that way - you can only swap one instance for another component.


(Seems a little counter-intuitive to me, and feels like a bug or missing feature, but I think I get it now.)


thanks again.
