Section Statuses besides "Ready for Dev": Approved, In Progress, Archived, etc

I love the new “Ready for Dev” status option on Sections, but would love to add and use other statuses relevant to my process. For example, it’d be great to have a “Ready for Design Review” and “Ready for PM Review” statuses so that everyone knows where things are at.

Hi ​@Leo Vogel, thanks for your feedback! 

I’ve merged your topic with a similar, existing one here in the community. We’re using this topic to gauge overall interest to advocate for future implementation. While additional Dev Mode statuses are already on the team’s radar, the team hopes to use this feedback from the community to prioritize what users want most.

While I don’t have an exact timeline to share on when new statuses will be added, I’ve made sure the Dev Mode team has eyes on this topic, since it’s grown a lot since June 2023. I’ll be sure to follow up here if there are any promising updates from the team.

Indeed, had the same thought the day after the release. “Ready for Dev” ist cool, why not extend it with other states like “Ready for Review” or even custom states. I would need it for internal design iterations but also for external communication with clients. Would really appreciate this 🙂

Would also love to be able to mark something as “built on date X” to keep a record of what was built!

It would be super interesting to have custom states that could be applied at a Project/Team level!

Using Figma since 2018.

I was thinking about the new feature “Ready for Dev” and I got an insight, could have an option to evolve the status from “ready” to “done”, by example. By this way would help dev on his planning.

I second this – would love to have the ability to mark sections with custom labels as well, even outside of just Dev Mode:

• Stakeholder Review / Approved
• Design Review / Approved

etc…

Yes ! Or even by frame ?
I would like to see:

Design category
In Progress
Done
Review
Approved

Dev category
Ready
Done

Our main use-case is for “UX Copy Ready” - As we’re working with UX copy writer, it would be beneficial to know which screens have finalized copy (as a work around, we use a component with UX copy states (Awaiting writer → WIP → Ready).

The new feature to mark a section as ‘ready for development’ is FANTASTIC!

It would be great if I could also mark a section as ‘ready for review’. This will indicate to everyone on the file that the design is ready for feedback.

It would be great to have a whole set of statuses here, like:

  • Rough work
  • Design work in progress
  • Copy work in progress
  • Ready for review
  • Ready for dev
  • Built
  • In production
  • Archived

Custom would be great too!

Currently there’s only “Ready for Dev”

Ready for Review would be good. Or the ability to add custom status’
