Naming your layers in Figma to match the spreadsheet

As an example, if you named your spreadsheet headers #Title or #Description, then you would then name your text layers #Title or #Description as well; this will ensure that they are mapped together when the spreadsheet is synced up in the plugin later.

​

Assigning specific rows to Figma layers

If you would like a Figma layer to sync with a specific row value, you can add the .3 syntax to the end of your Figma layer name, directly after the header name. For example, #Title.3 will always fetch the 3rd row of the #Title column of your spreadsheet.

​

Figma image layers

If you’re using the spreadsheet to update image content, you can also rename your Figma image layers with the same spreadsheet header name (eg. #Poster) that contains image URLs in its column’s content rows; your Figma layers will automatically be replaced with image content when the spreadsheet is synced.

​

Updating (non-text) Figma layer names

If you’d like to rename any non-text Figma layers, you can use the layer name (eg. My Frame) as your column header name, and then add any new names in the rows below it, and any matching Figma layer names will automatically be renamed when the spreadsheet is synced.

​

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.
