"You may do a lot of work in Figma, but for most people, Notion is where serious discussions about work planning and scope happen. Why would you want to bring Figma text layers into Notion databases? It's way easier to track the progress on design work in Notion databases rather than in Figma. Opening and navigating Figma takes more mental effort - especially for non-designers - than Notion. It's also mentally taxing and distraction-prone to switch between Notion and Figma."
"The workflow I'm sharing lets you copy a virtually unlimited number of text layers and import them into a new Notion database with useful properties like numbers and priority. You can also add statuses and other fields if you want. As an example, I'm going to use a heuristic audit I did recently for Zoios as an example. But you can apply the principles to your own workflow."
A flexible workflow converts Figma text layers into Notion databases to improve tracking and collaboration on design work. Notion databases are easier for most stakeholders to use for planning, scope, and progress tracking than Figma. Switching between Figma and Notion creates cognitive load and increases distraction risk. Manual copy-paste of individual text layers is tedious and inefficient. The workflow supports copying many text layers into a new Notion database while creating properties like numbers, priority, and status. Initial setup includes placing screenshots of screens in Figma and labeling screens with serial numbers for easier reference. Annotative components can standardize presentation.
