Feature Request - Swap library to current document

Love the plugin, use it constantly.

The one addition I'd love to have is the ability to select "Current Document" from the Symbol Swap Libraries dropdown menus.

It is very common that I use symbols from linked libraries to begin a project but at completion want to combine everything into a single document for ease of delivery.

Was thinking this could be an easy addition, but as i'm not a developer... :)

Thanks again,

I have the same request, but the use case is very different:

  • I have quite a big UI library published to sketch cloud
  • my library contains documentation, that shows instances of the symbols with some description
  • sometimes I accidentally put an instance from the remote library, instead of the current document
  • I find out only via "Library Updates Available" that I have some shared library symbols in my file

The problem is it's impossible to locate WHERE I have these remote library symbols, so that I can replace them with current doc symbols.

So I'd need either 1) in the symbol swapper plugin have the option to swap to Current Document (as @dbrienswann suggests) or 2) at least be able to locate the instances of the shared library symbols, so that I can replace them manually.

Would this be difficult to achieve please @sonburn ? Thank you
