Hi there
I was just wondering if there is a way of editing the text in a symbol instance without it being updated in all the instances. So basically a way of decoupling the content of a symbol from its styling.
As a practical example: I have a button with some background color, some specific font size and color and a button text. I’m saving the button as a symbol, then placing in multiple places on the design. However, although I still want to be able to edit the style unitarily (changing the color - updates everywhere) I would like to be able to change the text individually on every instance (a button to say “ok”, other “Accept”, other “I Agree” etc.)
I think I saw something similar in the Beta presentation but I doesn’t show if all the instances change or only one changes and how to do that.
Thanks.

Thank you for your answer.
This is something that I would definitely find very useful and is already available in other programs.

This is just another reason Static Symbols should be the default symbol type. I was about to see a reason to use Dynamic Symbols… But wait… I can't change the font color… even if a color it at the Object Level??!!
