Bulk Text Editor - Import

About this plugin

ulk Text Editor – Export & Import (Complete Workflow for Figma)

Bulk Text Editor – Export and Import are two halves of a streamlined, end-to-end content editing workflow for Figma. Together, they allow teams to extract all text from a Figma file, update it externally in a spreadsheet, and then re-import it back into the design with complete accuracy and zero manual effort.

No more copy-paste.

No missed updates.

No late-night find-and-replace.

Perfect for content updates, localization, large design systems, and enterprise-scale product teams where text changes happen outside Figma.

⚡ Why This Workflow?

This two-plugin system enables you to:

Export every text layer into a CSV file

Update the content in Excel / Google Sheets

Re-import updates into all matching Figma text layers — automatically

It’s simple, powerful, and saves hours on every project.

🛠️ How It Works (3-Step Workflow)

1️⃣ Export (Bulk Text Editor – Export)

Extract all text layers from your Figma file into a clean CSV that includes:

Text content

Node IDs (used for accurate mapping)

Page and frame context

This CSV becomes your single source of truth for edits, translations, and audits.

2️⃣ Edit (Excel / Google Sheets / CSV)

Open the exported CSV and edit freely:

Update UI copy

Apply global wording changes

Run translations or localization scripts

Update hundreds of rows at once

Because the CSV contains unique Node IDs, naming or ordering changes in Figma will not break the workflow.

3️⃣ Import (Bulk Text Editor – Import)

Return to Figma → run Bulk Text Editor – Import → upload your edited CSV.

The plugin:

Matches each row to the correct Figma text layer via Node ID

Updates text instantly across all pages

Preserves existing formatting, styles, and layout

Supports Undo (⌘+Z / Ctrl+Z) for safe updates

One click. Zero manual work.

🎯 Perfect For

UI content refreshes across design systems

Localization & multilingual product interfaces

Bulk copy updates across hundreds of frames

Agencies updating multiple client files

Government/enterprise teams with strict wording changes

Product audits where corrections must be applied consistently

Writers and translators working outside Figma

If you've ever spent hours copy-pasting text into dozens of screens, this workflow will feel like magic.
