Getting started
Get started with KopiMark in about five minutes — sign in, open your demo Figma project, and make your first copy edit live on the design.

This guide is the fastest path from “I just signed up” to “I’ve shipped a copy edit on a real Figma design.” You don’t need a Figma token for this — your demo project comes pre-loaded.
Tip — already past the demo? Jump to Connect Figma to point KopiMark at your own files.
1. Sign in
KopiMark uses passwordless email sign-in. There’s no password to set.
-
Open app.kopimark.com and click Sign in.
-
Enter your work email and submit. KopiMark emails you a one-time link.
-
Click the link from the same browser. You’ll land on the Projects home.
2. Meet your demo project
On your first sign-in, KopiMark creates a personal workspace and seeds it with a demo project — a real Figma design with sample pages, languages, statuses, and one example comment thread already on the canvas.
The demo runs entirely from a pre-built cache, so it works before you’ve connected Figma. It’s the safest place to click around.
3. Open a page in the editor
-
From the Projects home, click your demo project.
-
You’ll see a grid of pages with thumbnails, language flags, and status indicators. Click any page tile to open the editor.
-
The editor loads the Figma design as a live, zoomable canvas on the left, with a side panel on the right.
4. Edit your first text
-
Click any text on the canvas. The node becomes selected and the side panel switches to the text editor.
-
Type your change. The canvas updates as you type — the design re-renders the new copy at the same size, font, and color.
-
Click outside to commit. The change saves automatically; there’s no “save” button.
The text you just edited is now versioned. You can see every prior revision in the History panel — and so can your teammates.
Tip — every edit auto-applies the project’s default status (usually something like Needs review). That’s how teammates know there’s something to look at.
5. Leave a comment
Comments in KopiMark are pinned to the canvas, not to a list. They’re the fastest way to flag a sentence for review.
-
Click the comment tool in the toolbar, then click anywhere on the canvas to drop a pin.
-
Type your message. Use
@to mention a teammate (once you’ve invited people). -
Press Comment to post. The pin stays anchored to that spot until someone resolves the thread.
6. Switch language
The demo project ships with at least one extra language. To preview the translated version:
-
Open the language switcher in the editor toolbar.
-
Pick the target language. The canvas re-renders with translated copy in place; untranslated nodes fall back to the source.
-
Click a translated text node to edit the translation. To draft a fresh one with AI, see Translate with AI.
Next steps
You’ve now done the four things 90% of KopiMark sessions involve: opened a page, edited text, left a comment, switched language. From here:
- Bring in your own Figma file — Connect Figma walks through generating a personal access token and what it unlocks.
- Invite a teammate — Invite your team covers roles and guest access.
- Explore Settings — most teams discover too late that fonts, glossary, exports, and custom statuses live here. Take the tour.
