What this video covers

This video shows how to use the CopyDoc Figma plugin to build a reusable text content library in Figma. It covers creating text snippets with trigger shortcuts and variants, then importing, exporting, updating, moving, and deleting snippets in bulk with CSV files and collections.

Things you'll need

• Figma
• CopyDoc Figma plugin

Steps

1. Open Figma, find CopyDoc in Resources under the Plugins tab, and save it to your Figma plugins list.
2. Run CopyDoc from saved plugins, then open the content library feature.
3. Create a new snippet by setting a trigger shortcut, choosing or creating a collection, entering the text content, and saving the snippet.
4. Edit a snippet to add multiple text variants by separating them with double pipe symbols, then update the snippet.
5. Apply snippets to text layers either by using the snippet buttons or by typing the trigger shortcut such as slash slash tagline.
6. Import snippets in bulk with CSV by downloading the example file, editing it in a spreadsheet app, and dragging the updated CSV into CopyDoc.
7. Export selected snippets to CSV, then re-import the edited file to update existing snippets, or use bulk move and delete actions to manage collections.
