Option to create new master component when duplicating a page or copy/paste

[chudoloo]

I know this is an old topic but Figma hasn’t changed, and I just found this workaround by @Joanna6 :

Is there a way to keep components local to a page when duplicating?

btw there is a workaroung. If you copy your page to a new figma file and then copy everything back to a new page, instances will be linked locally.

It’s a slight variation on @Natasa 's solution above. Basically:

1. Duplicate file.
2. Create new page in original file.
3. Copy/paste all page contents from duplicate file back into new page in original file.
4. Delete duplicated file.

It’s a bit tedious but it’s still way better than recreating new main components and relinking all the instances of the duplicated page to the new main component, which is what I’ve been doing. I’ll now use this workaround to get the result I need.
