Find & Replace: Replace text in parent components first before replacing text in instances

Find & Replace text is incredibly helpful, but the functionality can have unhelpful/unintended consequences when updating text across components and instances.

 

Current behavior: 

Find and replace does not distinguish or prioritize between replacing text in parent components, component instances, or strings not within components. This means that if text is replaced within instances, it treats those strings as overridden, and changes to the text in the parent component will no longer automatically update in those instances.

 

Expected behavior:

Find and replace text in components before instances (including instances within other components) and update search results before replacing text in component instances. This allows component instances to have relevant text updated by the parent component when possible and not overwriting text strings within instances that shouldn’t be customized.
