Syncing your CSV or XLSX file content to Figma layers ​

You can preview your spreadsheet contents by either dragging and dropping your correctly structured .csv or .xlsx file into the Sync XLSX/CSV File dropzone area, or by clicking it and selecting the file manually by browsing for it on your computer.

Ensure that you select at least one layer in Figma that contains renamed layers to match your spreadsheet headers, and then click on the Sync Spreadsheet Rows with Figma Layers button. This will sync the content from your spreadsheet with your selected renamed Figma layers.

Figma text layers with missing fonts can't be updated. If your Figma text layer contains a missing font, the plugin won't be able to update it. Please ensure any text layers you would like to update in any way using the CopyDoc plugin have their missing fonts resolved.

Auto repeat a single Figma layer with your spreadsheet rows ​

When using the Content or Styles sync tab options, you can automatically repeat a single Figma layer by enabling the Auto Repeat toggle, which will automatically copy the original selected Figma layer and duplicate it as many times as the number of rows that your spreadsheet data contains.

If your selected Figma layer is already directly inside of another Figma layer with Auto Layout enabled, the selected layer will automatically be duplicated inside of that parent layer, otherwise, CopyDoc will create a brand new Auto Layout frame and duplicate your new Figma layers there instead.

Dynamic auto-repeating parent layer names ​

If you want to dynamically name the new auto-repeating Figma layer from your spreadsheet data, too, you can do this by ensuring the Figma layer name that you're repeating (for example, #Title) matches a column in the spreadsheet that you're syncing; this will automatically use the value from each row under the #Title column in your spreadsheet as the layer name for each duplicated Figma layer.

If there's no matching layer name in your spreadsheet, the CopyDoc plugin will take the original Figma layer name and append a row number to it (for example, My Frame Layer (Row 3)) instead.
