Make Ditto work with your own team’s processes with new custom statuses. Capture specific stages—like "Legal Review," "Blocked," or "Ready for Translation"—to manage the work your way.

• Create and customize: Admins can head to workspace settings to add new statuses, choose custom colors, and select specific icons.
• Pick your order: Reorder your custom statuses alongside the default set to match your team's exact workflow, and hide the Ditto default stages if they don't fit your process.
• See status in Figma: Custom statuses will appear as text labels in Figma layer names (e.g., “[Legal Review] Button Label”), so designers and developers can stay informed without leaving the file.

A few things to note:

• To maintain a consistent workflow for the whole team, only Admins can create or edit custom statuses.
• The "Draft" status will still be the default status for all text items and cannot be hidden or reordered.
• To prevent data loss, you cannot hide or delete a status currently assigned to text items. If you need to phase one out, move those items to a new status first.

Custom statuses are available for teams on our Enterprise plan. If you’re on a different plan, upgrade in your settings or reach out to our team to get access.

Add, edit, and manage plural forms for your Ditto text items, to make your copy adaptable to different quantities (without creating disconnected text layers). Instead of managing multiple Figma text nodes for copy like "1 item" vs. "3 items," you can now define these variations within a single text item, right in Ditto.

How to use plurals:

• Select a text item: Navigate to a text item, variant, or library component in the Ditto web app or plugin.
• Enable plurals: Select the new "Plurals" option within the text details to define your pluralization context.
• Add your variations: Enter the specific copy for different counts.
• Sync with development: Use existing developer integrations or Ditto API to pull these plural forms into your codebase using a single devID.

Plurals follow standard i18n plural forms (like one, other, few, many).

Keep your design files clean while capturing all copy variations. Your developers will thank you!

We’ve made some updates to Ditto statuses to make managing the lifecycle of your copy more intuitive. Status labels, icons, and colors are updated to reflect your workflow better and improve visibility across the web app and activity panel.

• New progress icons: We’ve replaced the thin colored lines that used to indicate status, now each text item will have distinct icons located directly on the card.
• Simplified status labels: We’ve updated our labels to distinguish clearly between work-in-progress copy and unlinked text layers:
  ‍‍
  
  • Draft (formerly "No status")‍
  • In Progress (formerly "Work in progress")‍
  • In Review (formerly "Ready for Review")‍
  • Final (no change)

• Action-oriented colors: We’ve moved away from the traditional stoplight colors. The new palette is designed to draw your eye to copy that needs immediate attention, such as items In Progress or In Review.
• Activity panel updates: New labels and icons will now show up in your project’s activity history, making it easier to scan for recent changes.

These UI and label changes don’t affect the statuses used in our API (FINAL, WIP, REVIEW, NONE), so your existing developer integrations will continue to work without interruption.
