Moving from wireframes to design on a website and intend to maintain the wireframes as a reference exactly how they are now.
Since the wireframes use components and I will be updating them for the design, I thought the best way to archive the wireframes would be to detach all the components.
TLDR; How do I automatically detach all components in a page?
That doesn’t detach components in any child container (basically every component), I would have to ungroup every layer which would break auto layouts etc.
I actually found I could just duplicate the file as the components are only file specific to acheive an archived state for the wireframes. Sorry, half the challenge is knowing the right question to ask!
Thanks, @Timothy_Sullivan! I never saw the “Detach All Nested Instances” command before.
@TomAustin – If you want to create a reference file that is a snapshot in time, you probably also want to detach all styles from your wireframes. There’s a very useful plugin called “Destroyer” that acts on the selected items and traverses all nested layers. (I didn’t write it: I just use it.)
