Here's how Figma notifications should work

I’m Head of Design, leading a team of ~10 designers who work across ~20 files at any given moment.

Lately, I’ve been missing tons of comments because there’s not a clear way to see notifications about which files have comments that are unread vs. which files do not have unread comments.

 

Here’s how it should work:

  1. In the tab bar, a new “Triage” tab where you can automatically switch between files where you have unread comments.
  2. Once you click on a file that has unread comments, it opens “Comment mode” where you can review the comments. Alternatively, you can “mark all as read”

 

Finally, the Mac app should have a Badge counter that displays a count of the # of files that have unread comments. That way, you can never miss a comment. ⭐

 

This simple, new workflow would save me from missing comments from my team. Please, Figma - it’s time.
