I made a huge mistake back in the time: I have a single huge file that uses only local design system instead of linked library. For some reason I need to replace the local stuff with a library.
Is there a way to bulk update the following items:
symbols
appearance
I’m thinking something that lists all the symbols, appearances of a page/artboard/file and replaces with a new one?
The first is Change Local Symbols to Library Symbol
What this will do is allow you to swap out all of the local Symbols within your document with those that live in a Library.
If for example, the Symbols in the Library reference Text Styles within the same Library then these should all get updated accordingly as well.
This will let you select a Text Style and replace it with another (to make it easier to tell the difference between the Library and Local Text Styles, I would recommend adding say OLD to the end of the names of Text Styles in the local document just to remove any potential confusion there.
There are various other functions which may be of help as well but I’d recommend having a look through the Automator menu under Plugins as there are quite a few.
