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

Commenting to keep this active. We need an ‘implemented’ status ASAP.

Thanks for the feedback. I shared these with our internal team. Thanks!

I would like to more easily communicate to developers which section containing designs is the right iteration to develop. We like to keep a record of our explorations for stakeholder calls so that leaves us with a sometimes cluttered Figma file.

My team has used the “ready for dev” tag, used different pages marked with “Final” etc. in an effort to communicate which designs are the final ones to be developed. They have resorted to manually putting a color and a watermark over the old work.

Still some devs will look at old designs and get confused.

If there was a way to mark a section as archived where devs could not get redlines, export from or otherwise interact with it (we’ve tried locking things too), or even put a watermark over the whole section so it’s very visually explicit that’s not the design they should use for development.

Thanks!

I love the “Ready for Dev” indicator! Is it possible to make it more granular?

Here’s my suggestion:

• Ready for Dev (New, New Update, In Progress, Developed)

The “New Update” status is particularly important for designers who continue working on the same screen. It allows them to notify developers of new changes to a screen that was previously marked as “Ready for Dev.”

Hi Kelli, I am expecting that feature also, but while waiting for Figma to provide it to us, I use these Fill and Stroke settings for my team:

The trick is adding a very transparent color, almost 0%, on the top fill layer for the Section. The Section name tag will have that color for background in 100%.

Hope this helps.

I agree with the need for more statuses, integrated with Jira and Confluence, so the link in Atlassin products show the status

I prefer custom statuses, however here are some static ideas:

• Ready for Dev (Current)
• In progress
• in Sprint XXXX
• Complete (current)
• Ready for QA
• Ready for deploy
• In Production
• Locked

I agree. My team has a process unique to our workflow with certain checkpoints needed along the way. Setting up custom statuses similar to Jira would be an incredible feature to have.  

still hoping for a “ready for review” status : ) 

So looking at another thread I discovered that there’s a status for New update and Completed but Figma mentions this basically nowhere. Why can’t you use it? You’re using a pro plan!
