Product updates ✨

We’ve rolled out several updates that make collaboration smoother using Frontitude.

‍

💺 Introducing seat types

You can now assign teammates with specific seat types, giving them access to the Content Management Platform, the UX Writing Assistant, or both. This makes it easier to control access and plan your workspace seats effectively.

‍

Teammates can now also be invited directly from the Settings page with Writing Assistant access only, simplifying onboarding for writers and designers.

‍

🐛 Bug fix

The Activity Log in the component edit panel now loads properly and no longer disappears when the panel opens.

‍

💻 Developer CLI improvements

Developers can now filter project content by page or screen name when using the CLI. This means developers can fetch specific screens instead of the entire project. See documentation here.

‍

🎨 Content Management Figma Plugin

When clicking “Open in Frontitude” from the Figma plugin, you’ll now be taken straight to the selected frame (if one is selected). A small tweak that saves a lot of clicks.

‍

✨ New Writing Assistant (Beta)

We’re introducing a revamped UI and a new audit feature in the Writing Assistant Beta. The experience is smoother, more focused, and designed to make auditing content easier and faster.

‍

Thanks for all beta participants for your amazing feedback! We're excited to build the best writing assistant for UX content together.

‍

We’ve shipped two enhancements to make reviewing and managing component suggestions faster and more flexible:

• Bulk selection in suggestions list - Added Select all/Deselect all to pick the right suggestions quicker.
• "Don’t show again" option - Control whether the component suggestions modal appears after syncing. You can now dismiss it directly in the modal, with the option to re-enable anytime from the settings tab.

We’ve rolled out a set of improvements to boost project performance and make search and translation workflows even more intuitive:

‍

🔍 Case‑sensitive and exact‑match search

Search in projects and in the library now supports case‑sensitive and exact‑match queries.

‍

‍

🔄 Reactive project text and translation stats

Project-level word source text and translation progress now update live, with no need in page refresh. Just make a change, and the stats reflect it instantly.

‍

🚀 Improved project load performance

Projects now load in roughly half the time by loading part of the data asynchronously.

‍

🆕 New

Bulk detach for component instances

You can now detach multiple component instances at once using the new “Detach” button in the multi-select bar in projects. This makes it easier and faster to manage large sets of content elements, and save them as separate copy components.

‍

‍

Enhanced security and compliance controls

We’ve completed a comprehensive security upgrade, including new internal controls and policies, improved data handling procedures, and a successful external penetration test. Need documentation for your security review? Contact us - we’re happy to help.

‍

🔧 Improvements

Unified suggestion card design

Component suggestion cards in the Figma plugin now match the updated design in the web app, including a slimmer layout and visible similarity scores. This provides a more consistent and intuitive experience for UX writers working in Figma.

‍

‍

Search and filter result counter in copy library

You’ll now see a result counter when applying search or filters in the copy library. This makes it easier to understand how many items match your criteria at a glance.

‍

‍

Option to include duplicates when saving to library

A new checkbox lets you include duplicate texts when saving to the library, available in both the web app and the Figma plugin. This gives you more flexibility when organizing and centralizing your content.

‍

‍

🐞 Bug fixes

Component deletion in selected category

Fixed an issue where components in a selected category couldn’t be deleted.

🚀 New

• ‍Bulk detach for component instances from projects. Easily detach multiple component instances at once in projects using the new “Detach” button in the multi-select bar.‍
• Component count in the copy library. Now you can see how many components match your filters or search. No need to “select all” to get a count anymore!

‍

🛠️ Improvements

• ‍Usage visibility for AI Translation. You can now view remaining AI Translation usage directly in the Integrations tab under your workspace settings.‍
• Localization workflow updates. Translation statuses now automatically downgrade when a source language revision is submitted, ensuring translations stay in sync with the source and nothing slips through the cracks.
• Improved status sync with Figma and imports. Text and component statuses now automatically downgrade when changes are synced from Figma or imported to the copy library, ensuring content status stays in sync with adjacent processes.

‍

🐞 Bug Fixes

• ‍App crash on category deletion. Fixed an issue where deleting a selected category in the library could cause the app to crash.
• ‍Developer CLI: --nested flag behavior. The --nested flag now works correctly with --include-translations, returning properly nested JSON structures in all languages.

‍

We’ve made several updates to help you manage your content more efficiently and sync it with the design process. Here’s what’s included:

‍
🚀 New

• ‍More control over component creation. You can now configure settings to turn off component creation when texts are finalized. This gives you greater flexibility over what you'd like to save as library components.

‍

🛠️ Improvements

• Translation status downgrades. When submitting a new change in the source language, all translations in Review or Final status are now automatically downgraded to New status, ensuring translations get updated before moving forward.‍
• Figma sync made smarter. Now, when syncing changes from Figma, texts and copy components with Final status are automatically downgraded to Draft status to prevent overlooked updates.

‍

🐞 Bugfixes

• ‍Sorting issue resolved in library. You can now navigate to specific categories after activating sorting in the copy library without any issues.‍
• Crash fix on category deletion. We’ve fixed a bug that caused the web app to crash when deleting a selected category in the copy library.

Now, you can share and collaborate on content and translations smoothly with our new Review Mode—a dedicated space for working together on a specific set of texts or screens.

‍

While projects are great for collaboration, they can sometimes become cluttered. Review Mode solves this by providing dedicated spaces for specific text lists—like ad-hoc projects.

‍

‍

What’s new?

With just a few clicks, you can create content and translation reviews, making collaboration smoother than ever.

‍

Review Mode is perfect for:

🔹 Share content with UX writers or PMs for quick edits and approvals

🔹 Send legal copy for getting approval from the legal team

🔹 Send content for translation review or post-editing

🔹 And a lot more...

‍

All edits and feedback sync back to Figma in one click—no more copy-pasting content edits from spreadsheets or decks!

‍

Learn how to use it in this guide, and try it out to streamline your content review workflow today. ⚡

We’ve added sorting options to the copy library, making it easier to find the text you look for!

‍

Now, you can sort your library components by:‍

• Last edited - Quickly access recently updated content.
• Last created - Easily find newly added copy during the latest project, sprint, or product increment.
• A to Z / Z to A - Spot duplicates and browse content alphabetically.

‍

Sorting is also applied in the export feature.

‍

Try this new feature in your copy library.

We’ve just improved the Import from file feature in our copy library! You can now import tags along with your content.

‍

If tags with the same label already exist in your workspace, we’ll reuse them instead of creating duplicates.

‍

This is very useful for tagging your imports or reuse tags from a different source that generated the spreadsheet!

We’ve made it even easier to save content to your library for localization and developer handoff. Now, whenever you switch a text to “Final” status, a copy component is automatically created for you.

‍

Here’s how it works:‍

• Finalized texts are automatically converted into copy components and stored directly in your library under the Uncategorized section.
• From there, you can quickly add a unique key, organize with tags, and move the component to the appropriate category in your library.
  

‍

This new feature simplifies your workflow, saves time, and ensures no content gets overlooked. 🌟

‍

Managing UX content often involves the challenge of separating copy from non-copy text elements. We’ve just added a new option in the Figma plugin to hide (or exclude, if you prefer) non-copy text elements.

‍

This feature allows you to filter out noisy non-copy texts right from the start, creating cleaner lists for review, approval, or translation—all within Figma. We hope you like it!

‍

‍

🐞 In this version, we also fixed the following bugs in the copy library:

• Submitting a change with a note to a library component ignored the note.
• @mentions in the library component note input didn’t work.

We’re excited to share another update packed with functional and performance improvements designed to enhance your experience and streamline your workflow. Here’s what’s new:

‍

📚 Faster copy library

We’ve rebuilt the library’s infrastructure to support large-scale libraries containing tens of thousands of components.

• We’ve reduced library loading time by 70%!
• We’ve also fixed slowness when navigating large libraries with lazy loading, ensuring a smoother navigation experience.

‍

‍

💫 New features and improvements

• ‍Bulk multi-select with shift: Select multiple texts at once in any list view in Frontitude for faster, easier editing.‍
• Filter component instances in projects: Filter library content for collaboration or hide it for a cleaner view when drafting and editing new content.‍
• Display component notes in language view: Translators can now view component notes in language views, which can be used as an effective way for briefings.‍
• New project export column: “Component name”: See the name and full library path of component instances in exports for better clarity.

‍

‍

🎨 Figma plugin updates

• ‍Figma native notifications: We’ve switched to using Figma’s native notifications for info, success, and error messages. This change provides a cleaner experience without toast messages occupying significant portions of the plugin window.
• ‍Edit tags for multiple texts: You can now edit tags for multiple texts directly in Figma, simplifying various use cases, such as enabling designers to classify content into segments seamlessly within Figma.

‍

‍

🐞 Bugfixes

• ‍Copy library's suggestions tab fix: WeYou can now exclude text instances properly when creating components from suggestions.‍
• Component-level tag filtering in exports: Filter settings now reflect correctly in exported files.

‍

That’s it for now! We’re gearing up for 2025 with some exciting announcements on the way. Stay tuned.

We’re excited to share a series of enhancements and fixes designed to make your Frontitude experience smoother, faster, and more intuitive. Here’s what’s new in this release:

‍

We hope you like these updates—stay tuned for more coming soon!

It’s finally here! You can now go over a list of texts and quickly open them directly within the design. This view combines the best of both design and list views, making it easier and faster than ever to go through a list of texts.

‍

‍

💫 This new view works like magic with these use cases:

• Reviewing a list of new texts and adding them to the library as copy components
• Reviewing a list of new texts and hiding non-copy elements
• Reviewing and commenting on a list of draft texts
• Translating a list of finalized texts
• And many more...

‍

‍

⌨️ We’ve also included a couple of new keyboard shortcuts:

You can now sort screens within your projects by their layout in Figma! This new sorting feature supports both Horizontal (Left → Right) and Vertical (Top → Bottom) layouts, making it easier to visually collaborate on your content.

‍

You can find this feature in your project’s navigation bar, and don’t worry—once selected, it will be saved for other projects, so you won’t have to select it again and again.

The 'All Languages' view is finally available! A new project view that lets you edit translations in multiple languages without switching languages each time! Plus, you can still use the in-context editing feature in Design View.

‍

‍

This feature is especially powerful for multilingual translators who provide or preview translations in multiple languages.

‍

Along with this feature, we’ve added a few more improvements:

• 💫 Project collaborators can now use the Search tab to find content within their projects.
• 💫 A new Developer CLI version has been released with major performance improvements.
• 💫 A new configuration for translation previews in Figma: You can now choose to preview frames only in languages that have translations.
• 💫 CSV exports now maintain the same sorting as in your project.
• 💫 You can toggle checkboxes by clicking their label anywhere in the system.
• 🐞 In the Search tab, we fixed the parallel search calls and corrected the incorrect total results counter.
• 🐞 Manually attaching text to a component with the same value didn’t work.

‍

Hope you enjoy this update!

‍

We believe these updates will significantly enhance your overall experience with our platform. Thank you for your continuous support and feedback!

We’re excited to ship the largest update we’ve ever delivered to the copy library. This update includes critical features that will help you build and structure your library quicker, and use it more efficiently on the go.

‍

Here's what's inside:

‍

➕ Create blank categories. We've added the option to add categories and subcategories from scratch! This allows you to strategize your library's structure and build its backbone using categories, even before you have any components.

‍

‍

‍

⚡ Category suggestions in attach box. This feature allows you to quickly find the right category when you create a new component using the attach/create box. Additionally, we’ve added the option to create the component by pressing the Enter key.

‍

‍

‍

🗑️ Delete categories. Categories can be deleted, finally. Using this one, you can clean up your library and prevent drop-downs in Frontitude display ghost categories.

‍

‍

‍

🔍 Category filter bar. If your category tree has grown extensive, this new filter in the library navigation bar will help you quickly locate the category you're looking for, regardless of its level within the category tree.

‍

‍

‍

🗄 Collapse categories. Reduce clutter and enhance focus when browsing content in your library by collapsing categories. The collapsed state is saved, allowing you to customize your library view.

‍

‍

‍

🗂️ Uncategorized components tab. Access all your uncategorized components in one place. Use it as a starting point to organize and categorize your components efficiently.

‍

‍

‍

🔠 Category names are case insensitive. It means that “Buttons” equals “buttons” when referring to categories. No more forgetting how you named a category and accidentally creating a duplicate. From now on, using “Buttons” and “buttons” (or any name) will refer to the same category.

‍

⬅️ RTL support for category notes. Whether you prefer writing your notes in Arabic, Hebrew, or any other RTL language, you can now enjoy proper display and formatting.

‍

We've also mixed in a few improvements and squashed a few bugs:

• 🐞 Fixed: Attach search box doesn't support components' library path (categories)
• 🐞 Fixed: Locked layers in Figma prevent content from being synced
• 💫 Create a new component from the attach/create section by pressing Enter
• 💫 Empty categories are displayed in the copy library
• 💫 Category nav bar indentation has been increased to highlight the hierarchy between categories
• 💫 Attach search box is case-and-space insensitive for smoother category search experience
• 💫 If Figma frames turn into components, texts are migrated instead of getting deleted

‍

Hope these updates will elevate your copy library workflows to a whole new level!

This time, we're enhancing Frontitude's import and export features to support more use cases:

‍

🪆 Nested JSON File Support in Export and Developer CLI. Now, you can export your projects and library content, and pull updates from the Developer CLI into a nested JSON file. Developers who store their strings in a nested JSON format will love this! Learn more

‍

‍

📥 Import Copy Components from a CSV File. Importing content to the copy library now supports CSV files. This means you can export content from Frontitude into a spreadsheet, edit it or send it for translation, and then import all updates in just a few clicks. This is useful for teams that use an external vendor for translations! Learn more

‍

‍

We've also made some improvements and fixed a few bugs:

• 🐞 Fixed: Copy library search now filters according to the component's value, not its path
• 🐞 Fixed: Importing from JSON file no longer ignores translations

• 💫 When moving multiple copy components between categories in the copy library, the selection bar is closed to avoid confusion
• 💫 Improved clarity of error messages throughout the app
• 💫 Now displaying the actual language name when importing from a JSON file, instead of "Source Language."

‍

Hope you enjoy this update!

We're continuing our revamp of all things search-related in Frontitude, and this time, it's the turn of the copy component attach feature!

‍

Attach now offers an improved search algorithm that is:

• Case insensitive
• Word order tolerant
• Includes ranked and sorted results
• Includes search on unique key and library path

‍

‍

Additionally, we've squashed a few bugs and made some improvements:

• 🐞 Fixed: Text changes that appeared in the Changes tab in the Figma plugin and could not be synced

• 🐞 Fixed: Error that occurred in library load when components include corrupted text instances

• 🐞 Fixed: Editing panel crashing when texts include variables with special characters

• 💫 Export to file is now enabled from projects and library in the Starter plan
