Tips and Tricks for using Magic Mirror

Overlays

(by JonathanYap @ DesignerNews)

Now I don't have to rasterize those overlays to keep the size down when I work with overlays in sketch. I can keep a 1 actual artboard for the content in the back without using symbols now. Keep file size down and less of those finicking selecting the wrong element.

Modular components

(by JonathanYap @ DesignerNews)

I know symbols are create for smaller element module like buttons and navigation bar. But this can help in situation where you don't need to make the changes like an image component layered with a titl. So now I can use an artboard to construct that and swap out the image and compose them without a huge overhead of replicating the same component with a 700kb image. The only down side I can think of is that you can't really pair it with stuff like zeplin when you do this.
