    Hi All -

    Can you please detail out what’s your current workflow today in XD that lands you into that situation?

    In other words, are the documents that you’re pasting into linked to the source document? are they “Saved As” versions of the source documents.

    This extra info will help us identify what the issue is.

    Thanks,
    Sherif

    I've seen several mentions of this on the Adobe Support Community, but none have been adequately answered or resolved. Is this how the current functionality is "supposed" to work? If so, are there any work-arounds?
    Update: Here's one possible way around this, that just worked for me. Before pasting component instances with overrides into a different file, first delete the corresponding component masters from the destination file. (However, this is only useful if you don't have existing instances in the destination file that need to remain linked.)
