Copy pasting the same annotation across a bunch of screens? We've got a much simpler way now. 🐨
Save it once as a template, then pick it from the list next time. Zeplin also comes with 9 built-in accessibility templates.

We went digging through usage data recently and saw how many of you are documenting accessibility in Zeplin. Then we got on some calls, and the story was always the same: there's a guidance doc somewhere, and designers retype their own version of it into every single screen.
Accessibility got us here, but templates work for anything your team writes over and over — tracking events, animations, API endpoints. Curious what you'll use them for.

“Flag anything that might break in German localization.”
“Check this design against our voice & tone guidelines.”
“Make sure every empty state has a CTA.”
These aren't default review categories we built, they're prompts you write (we use the second one a lot as the Zeplin crew).
With Custom Categories in AI Design Review, you decide what AI checks before handoff. 🥽

Figma Slots are now fully supported in Zeplin. 🕳️
Slots show up on hover as you inspect, and they’re listed in the right panel when you select a component.
Project Activity is the big one: a new tab in your project to see what's been happening at a glance. 🎾
It tracks things like new screens, screen updates, status changes, and mentions. Let us know if the information is helpful, and if there's other stuff you'd want us to add.
The small stuff matters too! Beyond Project Activity, here's what else we shipped:
→ Component background color
→ Figma hyperlinks
→ Layer deep links
→ Spellcheck for annotations/comments
→ Section names in the Figma plugin project list

If you’ve ever squinted at your Styleguide trying to spot a white icon on a light background, you’re not alone. 🖼️🔍
Component cards now support custom background colors. Set it per section, per page, or across your entire styleguide.
Hey friends, we’ve got a small update to Flows. 🪟
Groups panel in Flows is now resizable and collapsible: long group names finally fit, and you can hide the panel to see more of your flow when you need it.
Happy flowing!
Annotations aren’t limited to screens anymore—they’re in flows. 🧠🌀
