When a user adds a comment to Figma by click/dragging a box around something - is there away to turn this into a regular comment attached to a frame?
The problem with these comments is they don’t follow Frames when moved using “Move to Page” like regular comments. There doesn’t seem to be away to move them without losing them - and I haven’t found away to change a comment done in this way to attach to an artboard - then move it.
It’s pretty annoying as I don’t want to lose clients comments when organising the file.
Any ideas? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance! 😊
Question
Convert dragged boxed/region comment to regular comment
Hi
I completely understand your frustration. Right now, comments can only be pinned to top-level elements. While there is no way to ensure comments can be pinned to nested elements, this is on our radar for improvement:
I don’t have an exact timeline to share on when or if this will be implemented, but for now, as a temporary solution, your best bet is ensuring that comments are only placed on top-level elements.
Hey
Thanks for the info, to be honest it’s the first time it’s been an issue in 5-6 years so a bit of an edge case of producing a large volume of work, which client has added comments (in an uncommon way) that we now need to move - which I never normally do.
So for me it was just about checking I wasn’t missing something/there wasn’t away before updated. I can always add my own, new comments for now just referencing the original comment! :)
Thanks again!
Thanks for clarifying,
I’ll be sure to pass this feedback onto the team for future consideration.
