Please don't turn into Adobe/Microsoft and make simple features like this accessible for all team members. 

I’m having to annotate twice at the moment, it’s such a time sink.

+1 Please update this.

We just realised that half the team couldn't see these annotations and it really makes the feature much less useful than it should be. The pricing model and seats are already vague and have arbitrary windows where you’re able to update them - we really don’t need the added cognitive load of having to check which basic features are or aren't available based on what seat you hold.

I was genuinely excited about the annotations feature and just naively assumed it would be visible regardless of seat type - because why wouldn’t it be?

I have same needs. I would like to use snnotations for stakeholder, business owner. But they dont see it

Ridiculous paywall.

Come on, Figma. This needs to be treated just like comments.

From business and pricing perspective I understand why you want to put measurements behind a paid seat. But annotations are incredibly useful to hand over designs for stakeholders or marketing people. Giving context for the design is crucial and using a native method much better rather than drawing notes manually and point them with vectors. I think this form of communication and contextualization is much more demanded when designers hand over for non-figma users or a less skilled person who’ll only comment and make decision based what they see.

Hard take but the annotations should be visible even without logging in.

We often share designs with our clients and giving them paid seat every time is not a good idea.
