We’ve improved the navigation and discoverability of some key elements, to make it easier for teams to get started, and get going, in Ditto.
Here’s what has changed:
We now automatically detect if an unlinked frame already matches an existing draft group — and automatically match up all of the corresponding text items for you. All you have to do is review and accept. 🤩
On the project card, you'll now be able to see an overview of core stats:
You'll also be able to see this broken down in each project's project details.
You can now see the avatars of anyone else working from the same project! These teammates will display in the project toolbar, whether they're working from the web-app or the Figma plugin.
Cmd/Ctrl + K will now collapse and expand all groups and blocks in the side nav.nested format, add an explicit --sample-data flag, and patch dependencies with outstanding vulnerabilities. (v4.4.0)How are other teams managing product text? What have they learned, and what are still their biggest bottlenecks? How are content and design orgs evolving? 🤔 💭
We want to get into the nitty-gritty of how teams are managing product text — in all of its forms — and we want to hear from you. Take this survey (and share it with a friend!). We’ll share the results in the coming weeks.
We're so excited to announce that Ditto is an official sponsor of Config this year! ✍️ 🎨
From speaking at Config to meeting so many Ditto users in person, we’re honored to represent content and support an event at this scale for the first time. For those attending this June 26-27, we can’t wait to see you there at our booth and lightning talk! 🤗
We’ve opened the beta for our integration with Figma variables, which allows you to sync your Ditto component library to your Figma string variables.
If you’re a Ditto Enterprise customer interested in trying it out, reach out to enterprise@dittowords.com!
With so many teams managing massive component libraries, the Ditto team spent the last month overhauling the component library to handle libraries several factors of scale larger:
We’re excited to release our first integrations with A/B testing platforms: LaunchDarkly and Split! 🎉
Connect Ditto variants with your A/B testing platform to quickly iterate on your product text and tighten your experimentation feedback loop. To try out the integration, access them via the connections page.
Blip’s team of 1500+ employees (over 60 of which are designers) work together on a product that spans a global customer base: over 32 countries in 3 different languages. After a year of using Ditto, the Blip team found that Ditto allowed them to write, proofread, and translate 48% faster compared to their previous process.
We do a deep dive into Blip in our latest case study.
We've released an overhaul of our Figma integration to improve sync performance for projects connected to large Figma files. With these changes, you should experience:
When selecting and multiple text items in a project, your changes will also apply to selected components. These changes will also apply to the component's instances. Previously, these edits would only apply to text not attached to components.
This is now available in the multi-select panel in both the web-app and the plugin!
We've spent this past month working hard to make things snappy and improve performance in Ditto. 💪
We're excited to roll out an overhaul of our plugin's Figma sync functionality: you can now select and edit text in the plugin's "Selected" tab, even before resync completes. It will fetch and display the most up-to-date text, as well as apply it directly to the selected text in the Figma file.
In addition to editing the folder name, you can now separately edit the folder's developer ID:
In the component library, you can now drag and drop multiple components at once -- whether it's to a folder, group, or block!
When adding a variant to a frame, you can also add it to all of the frames in a project by selecting a checkbox!
In a project, you can now filter the text items to those that are or aren’t attached to components!
