I find their description of the use case for nested overrides confusing. Can someone who get's it explain what it does or why it's helpful?
1 symbol (A) that has a tonne of other symbols (B) (C) (D) nested within it.
Each one of those symbols (B) (C) (D) has numerous variations to them, e.g. Default (B1), Hover (B2), Active (B3).
Rather than duplicating (A) and manually changing the versions of (B), I can now duplicate (A) and select from the Inspector Panel which version of (B) I'd like.
Massive time saver and great for quick variations of screen states.
E.g. In an android app I could make a nav bar with several Material design icons in it as sub symbols. With this Nav bar symbol I can now use it on other screens by swapping out the material design icons (or turn them off by going to a blank symbol called 'icon off')
it's a simple, but granular way to change the state of a symbol's component.
