Allow Symbol Instances to update during master symbol editing
When making patterns or complex design based on instanced symbols it's vital to see how the seams between repeated symbols update. It would be good to see all instances (in view) update as you're editing a "master", and for the alignment tools to take the other instances into account so you can make pieces align with each other across a grid. Today the instances will only update AFTER you're done editing and it makes for a lot of going back and forth.

@Rixn, I’d very much love to take a look at an example of this symbol-heavy document, at least a screenshot of it, along with a fragment of the Symbols included in the panel — just out of curiosity, to wrap my head around the necessity. Can you share some, please?
And yes, sure. this should be an option only.

Not good for very complex nested symbols. I have illustrations that takes over night to update all the symbols (could be thousands). Is should not be default but as an option.
