'Detach all' on a Selection

Hi!

I would love the ability to “Detach All” instances within a selection.

How it would work: Select an object(s), right click the selection, and click ‘Detach All Instances’. Anything that is a component or instance within the selection would turn back into plain objects.

Why: I prefer to use Components throughout my page designs and I also turn each of my pages into a component. So lots of layers of components. My developer uses the Figma to Webflow plugin, which requires NO instances or components on the page. At the moment I have to make him a copy of each page and manually go through the layers to detach everything. Would be nice to make him a copy of the page, right click, and ‘Detach All’ instead.

Happy holidays from Pennsylvania!

Use the “Detach all nested instances” command via Quick actions.
