Quick summary
Detaching an instance in Figma converts a linked component instance into an independent group, letting you edit it freely without affecting the original component. This four-step process uses the More Actions panel and the Detach Instance option to sever the component link instantly.
Steps
- In your Figma design canvas, find and click the component that contains the instance you wish to detach.
- Navigate to the right-side panel and click the More Actions button.
- Select Detach Instance from the list of options.
- The instance is now detached from the selected component and can be edited independently.
