Instance Locator

A simple sketch plugin that helps locating instances of a selected symbol.

How it works

  • Select a symbol or any instance in your document
  • Run the plugin
  • A dialog with a dropdown list of all instances and their location (artboard or page) will show up
  • Select one
  • The plugin will navigate to that board

Built upon abynim's abstracted search script and inspired by Sketch-Navigator by arshad
