    Anyone could explain it in simple words?

    Let’s assume a scenario where the Main Component needs a variation that still retains the “one-to-many” quality of children inheriting properties but doesn’t affect any existing child components. To create a new parent component hierarchy, an instanced component must be ungrouped and rebuilt from scratch. Ungrouping components will also lose all the states and transition properties set up in Prototype mode. Here’s a workaround:

    Clone an instance of the component for each state in the component.
    Set each instance’s state to a different state.
    Go through and ungroup each component instance.
    Start making desired tweaks and changes to each component instance.
    Recreate the new Main Component.

    What does it mean by " making a component local to the file and rename ".
