Basically, I want to be able to take something that I’d previously made into a component and “uncomponentise” it. Currently, I have to either delete it (not good for version control) or make an instance, detach the instance and then delete component.
I just want to be able to turn the component off so that it’s no longer in libraries etc.
Ability to "un-Component" something
Hey! Thanks for your feedback. We will pass along to our team for consideration.
In the meantime, I’ve found a workaround shared by the community that may help you (by using a plug in):
You don’t need to use a plugin, simply create an instance of the component, detach it, then delete the component.
Agreed! There should be a keyboard shortcut to "revert main component" that eliminates the need for three additional steps and a cumbersome workflow that doesn't align with anyone's mental model or how most other features in Figma operate. If I can detach an instance, I should also be able to "detach a main component" or "revert to layers," or something similar.
