Ditto was built with collaboration in mind. Often-times, copy is collaborated on by everyone on a team from designers to writers to marketing to legal. Use these tips + tricks to streamline your copy workflow with your team!

Use status to indicate progress

Reduce confusion around what text has already been approved by assigning a status (Work in Progress, Ready for Review, Final) in Ditto.

• You can assign a status to a piece of text in either the plugin or the web app.
• The new status and who changed it will show up in the change history.
• In the web app, the text will get color-coded (red, yellow, or green) so you can easily scan and see what hasn't been finalized yet.

When you resync your Figma file, the layer names will get updated with emojis indicating status:

• Work in Progress - 🛑
• ‍Ready for Review - 🔶
• ‍Final - ✅

With this, designers can glance at the status of text from the Layers panel directly in Figma!

Tip: you can change the status of multiple pieces of text at the same time by turning on Multi-select in the top bar and selecting multiple pieces of text.

Comments and mentions

You can add a comment to a specific piece of text in both the Ditto web app and the Figma plugin. You can also reply to comments by teammates, or mark comment threads as resolved when you're finished with them.

Web app

In the web app, select a piece of text and open the Activity tab.

Here, you can leave a new comment, reply to an existing comment, or resolve a comment thread. Comments and changes are displayed together in the Activity tab so that you can understand the context surrounding any comments.
