Figma copies by marketgoo

Usage

1. Create a Google Spreadsheet document with two columns. One for the copy id and other for the text.
2. Publish the document to web, and copy the public URL.
3. Run the plugin in Figma and paste the public URL.
4. All text layers with the same name of any copy id will be updated with the copy text.

Other features:

• If the text contains a {{ varname }} pattern, you can replace this variable with a value
• If the text contains any html code, like Hello <strong>world</strong>, it will be used to maintain the multiple styles in the same layer.
