Instance — Edit mode

Doing UI/UX for 23 years, since 2000. Hi everybody.

The major issue of editing components right now, is the fact that ussually you have to go to the isolated component library and edit it there. And while you are doing that, you are completely disconnected from the rest of the design.

I would like to see the future, for editing instance of component on the spot, and immediately see the result. After edit is done, there should be the “Publish changes…” button.

Universe bless the Figma.

    This would be so helpful. It makes no sense to be jumping back to wherever the master component is and editing it in isolation, when you should just be able to directly edit any instance (without limitations) and push the changes to the master. Detaching instances to edit removes the point of having components.
