I see, with the proposed solution you and your team will be able to check the screens once you import the new copy or from the spreadsheet. We always had to go through the screens before approval anyway and the process looked something like this:

review old screens > work new copy in spreadsheet > import new copy in Sketch > review new copy in Sketch

Btw I've never seen the plugin you mentioned, it does look exactly like our the one I proposed, the plugin is slicker though. That's probably the difference from a free internal workaround and a paid proposition :)

I'd be curious to know if you find a better solution.

Have a good one

In my previous company, we created our own system using google sheet, JSON exporter and a plugin for Sketch that lets you import the copy to your design.
