So that the text can be updated freely without duplicating itself to all button instances?

In other words, the button symbol just retains the styles and not the content.

The closest thing i found was this plugin/technique.. but it seems out-dated : brilliantsketch.com/sketch-symbol-plugin-bring-smart-object-sketch/

Just to chime in, Sketch 40 doesn't include the 'Exclude Text Value from Symbol' option.

You can exclude text fields from overridability by locking the text layer within the symbol.

Use the Overrides panel.



If you want to learn more about symbols in Sketch, the documentation provides a 5-minute video that I can recommend.

Symbols - Exclude Text (from Sketch documentation)

You can easily do this with Symbols, by selecting a text layer inside a Symbol and checking the Exclude Text Value from Symbol checkbox. Any edits you make to the text are now local to only that instance.
