Though each company will have slightly different processes, UX writers and content designers are not responsible for creating entire mockups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, UX designers will generally pass completed mockups to UX writers, and the UX writer will simply need to edit the copy in the designs. The designers should set up the file so that this won\u2019t mess up the overall layout, provided there has been sufficient communication about parameters.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, it can be helpful for UX writers to have basic to intermediate Figma skills. For your own process, being able to make simple mockups to visualize your microcopy as part of an interface can help you choose between options and better present your ideas to colleagues.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So while deep Figma knowledge is definitely not required, it is a real bonus!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick tips and tricks for UX writers in Figma<\/span><\/h2><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Deep Select.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ever have trouble navigating to a string of copy you need to edit?
