CSV is the lingua franca for content updates. CopyDoc reads those files directly, maps each column to the right layer, and applies changes in seconds. It’s perfect for product strings, pricing tables, or marketing campaigns where data lives in spreadsheets.

Collaborate with ops teams

Growth, lifecycle, and localization teams can prep CSVs with unique IDs, send them over, and let CopyDoc do the rest. Because CopyDoc previews the changes before applying them, everyone stays confident that the right strings will update.

Automation-friendly

Tie CopyDoc into a workflow where CSV exports come from Airtable, Google Sheets, or your CMS. Designers simply drag-and-drop the file, review the diff, and apply. No manual copy-pasting required.

Usage pattern

1. Ask stakeholders to include an “id” column that matches your Figma layer names or plugin-generated IDs.
2. Import the CSV via CopyDoc, adjust mappings if needed, and preview the differences.
3. Apply the batch update and continue designing with the latest content.

This plugin turns spreadsheets into assets instead of chores.

Tips for reliability

• Validate CSV formatting (UTF-8, comma-separated) before handing it to designers.
• Use CopyDoc’s snapshot feature to roll back if the spreadsheet contains surprises.
• Keep a change log referencing the CSV filename and date so you can trace updates later.

Once data teams realize how easy CSV imports are, they stop flooding Slack with copy requests and start maintaining their own pipelines through CopyDoc.
