Hi there,
is there a way to simply replace a symbol? i have an animation and i just want to have the same animation but with another symbol (for another layout where the text needs to be smaller).
But i just cant see a “replace” button or simlilar.
Any help on that? Thought this would be easy as pie as it was in Flash… 
Kind regards,
T.
I was looking for the same thing myself.
Did you have any joy?
Sorry, there’s no way to currently do this, but it is definitely a popular request from the Flash folks.
The best way you can do it is to copy animations from one symbol instance to the newer one.
Just adding my strong, vocal support for this feature. Purchased Pro and a little surprised I can’t swap symbols easily. Not sure I’ve used a design-y program with Symbols where I can’t swap them.
