Statuses are your team’s way to track progress of a text item in Ditto, and keep relevant team members in the loop. Using statuses allows writers and other collaborators to work on the right text items, signal to reviewers when it's time to chime in, and lets developers know when text is ready for production.
Set a status
Select a text item to open the details panel
Click the Status dropdown menu and choose one of the four status options
Draft
In Progress
In Review
Final
💡 By default, a copy’s status is assigned as Draft when first imported into Ditto
Statuses in Figma’s layer name
When you assign a status to a text item, Ditto adds a status emoji to the layer name in Figma. Designers can see the status of all text at a glance, even if they don’t have a seat in Ditto.
These status indicators are on by default. To turn it off:
Click the three-dot menu in the top right of the Figma plugin
Go to Settings and toggle Status indicator
Variant statuses
Each text variant can have its own status. For example, if the base text is Final, a Japanese language variant can still be set as In Progress.
By default, the variant text's status will be Draft. When updated, a variant icon appears in the web app with the corresponding status color.
