What this video covers

The video shows how to use the CopyDoc Figma plugin to sync content from an Excel spreadsheet into Figma designs. It explains how to name spreadsheet headers and Figma layers the same way so text and image content can be populated row by row into repeated layout blocks.

Things you'll need

• A Figma file with layers named to match the spreadsheet headers.
• An Excel spreadsheet formatted with headers in the first row and content rows below.
• Direct image URLs for any spreadsheet fields meant to populate image layers.

Steps

1. Install the CopyDoc plugin from the Figma Community.
2. Prepare an Excel spreadsheet with headers in the first row that match the Figma layer names, and add content rows underneath.
3. In Figma, name the text and image layers to match the spreadsheet headers, using the same labels such as #Tag, #Title, #Min, #Reviews, and #Poster.
4. Duplicate the design block or component to create multiple repeated instances that all use the same named layers.
5. For image fields, paste a direct image URL into the spreadsheet cell after copying the image address from an image source.
6. Open CopyDoc from Plugins, use Sync Content to import the Excel file, then select the target layers in Figma.
7. Click Sync Spreadsheet Rows with Figma Layers to populate each selected block with one spreadsheet row, including text and images.
