How to Run Effective Copy Reviews

Updated over a month ago

Once you’ve set up your project and worked on your text, you’re ready to bring in people to review and provide some feedback!

Ditto consolidates copy feedback and ensures reviewers see the latest version with visual context. In this guide, we’ll walk through how your team can request copy reviews and respond to copy requests.


Request a copy review

When your copy is ready for your reviewers’ inputs, kickstart your review process by assigning text to them from either the Ditto web app or Figma plugin and change the status of the copy. This will notify them there are text they need to review.

Assign text to a reviewer:

  1. Select one or more text items you’d like reviewed

  2. Assign the text to the reviewer

  3. Update the Status to 🟡 Ready for Review

  4. Leave a comment tagging the reviewer with any specific questions or notes


Respond to copy review requests

When you’ve been notified over email of a review request, you can click the link to get brought to exactly what needs your attention in Ditto.

Review copy in context with your design flow

Switch to Ditto’s frame-based navigation to view all the frames for your text items on a specific Figma page. This is particularly useful for reviews to browse your content one screen at a time, and follow the flow of the designs.

Toggle to frame-based navigation:

  1. Click the Frame view button in the top left corner

  2. Navigate through your frames using the arrow keys

View your assigned text

To see the text assigned to you, head to the project in the web app and filter based on assignee and status. This will display all of your text that are ready for review.

💡 You can filter for text in the frame-based navigation view to see your assigned text on specific frames

Additionally, you can share a filtered view with a reviewer by sharing that specific URL from the web app. The filtered state will be preserved in the URL and allow reviewers to see the exact view you were in!

Review your assigned copy

If the copy assigned to you can be approved, go ahead and change its status to Final and resolve any open comments. This will indicate to the rest of your team that this specific text item is ready for production.

  1. Update the Status to 🟢 Final

  2. Resolve any comments by clicking the checkmark in the comment box

If a copy needs some more work on, reply or write a new comment and assign it to the relevant teammate to notify them.

  1. Click Reply to the active comment and write a response

  2. Assign the text to the relevant teammate
