Multi-edit introduction and overview 

Yes very true. But do remember the layer hierarchy and the names should be same for figma to multi select

@@jiteshpujari1 You can just manually multi-select though

I Prefer components for texts, because it's resets the style to all layers while I need to edit text with their original styles

When it comes to 800 pages I believe it is much better to use components, because without them maybe even multi-edit will not help in case of the change 😅

YAS!

Exactly 👏👏👏

Yeeee, now we need some integrated feature (ai maybe) to name all layers, because that can be hustle on itself 😂

Also "matching layers" doesn't work when trying to select objects which belong to the same ancestor frame. In other words, if you have a frame representing an app screen or a web page (which is how everyone is doing it), and you try to select all the matching elements on in, it will tell you there are no matching elements. This means that this feature is useful for stuff like selection between different frames (especially helpful for editing master components), but when it comes to editing full "screens" or "pages", or in other words frames, it's quite non-existent.

​@@BraceZenith You could have said parent frame, why did you have to involve ancestors bro 😂

@@nagpurcarI wanted to be precise, because "parent" and "ancestor" isn't same thing, and in this case, it's important to make this distinction. A "parent" frame would mean an immediate ancestor, or in other words, a frame which is directly holding the layer we are trying to match/multi-select. An "ancestor" can be any frame within the layer structure, as long as it is holding either the layer we are trying to match, or some other frame, which is in turn holding that layer we are trying to match/multi-select. An example: ancestor / ancestor / ancestor / parent (also an ancestor) / layer Like your grandma and grandpa are your ancestor but are not your parents. While on the other hand, your parents ARE your ancestors AND your parents.

Thank you! This is what I was looking for!

Select objects, then command + r (or ctrl r on Windows)

Correct, it should be a series of frames that are not nested inside of other frames. Though the frames can be nested inside of a section, this will also act as a method for scoping.

@@Figma Got it. I think this would be most impactful when the scoping is focused on the parent frame, not so much the structure of where it sits (so that I can use this in already set up files, rather than refactoring). Though I get that it needs a focused scope to work 👍. Crossing my fingers for that! Thanks!
