Sketch App - Component Update Panel

I have been using Sketch app for my design purpose for more than 3 years. They have improved a lot in these years. The addition of symbol library was a great move and it has changed my (and obviously everyone's) work flow.

PROBLEM
But I wasn't happy with their 'Update component' process. There wasn't any search capability, selecting and deselecting were painful and I couldn't check what are the changes made and where these symbols are used. So, I try to solve the problem (for myself - as there wasn't any user study conducted on this issue).

SOLUTION [Better View]
1) I replace the Sheet module for Update Component system with Panel module. This enable all the additional functionality as well as enable us to check the component instances.

2) A search box is added over the component list and a 'Deselect' and 'Select All' button is added.

3) Name of the component and the changes are listed below the preview for user's better understanding of the update.

4) How many instances of the selected component there are is shown beside the component name. Clicking on it will take users to the main window and auto select all the instances.

WHAT'S NEXT
Do share with me what's your thought on this idea? Would you prefer to get this change in the Sketch app?
