Allow text changes in local components
When using master design components and reusing them in other files, i like the idea of making components local so i don't accidentally push a copy change for one instance to all instances of that component.
However, i miss sketch's functionality where you can easily click a component and change the text in only instance. Makes prototyping go a lot faster.
See the attached gif for how i have to rename them today. Takes several clicks to rename. Even if i go into the layers, if i rename the text it just renames the title of the text not the actual text on the component/

So I have a component, which has 2 states and depending on the state it displays an overlay over 2 text layers. In order to edit those texts for other component instances I need to move the overlay layer, then edit the text for the first state, then for the second state and then move the overlay back into place. This would be a lot easier if I had an option in the layers to just edit the text inside the layer of one component instance.
Feel free to contact me for this issue.
