Hi,
The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.
However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.
Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.
Question
Allow us to expose Annotations and Measurements to View Seat users.
+1 Yes please!
Happy with the move of annotation management to design mode. Makes more sense.
Our product owner, currently on a collaborator seat, responsible for the detailed requirements would also like to view the annotations (in design mode). Now the seat must be upgraded to a dev seat or full seat, which is a bit overkill for just this feature.
I believe annotations could be handled more like comments.

It would make so much sense for Collab seats to be able to see annotations. We have a lot of stakeholders for marketing content, brand managers and so on who we don’t want to let near dev mode (no offence they say themselves they don’t want it!) but would have a use for annotations.
Ideally, for our teams, there would be a way to scope annotation visibility by seat type too. That could be set when editing categories e.g. a ‘marketing’ category that devs can’t see, a ‘private’ category that only the design team can see to discuss decisions that we don’t necessarily want everyone to know about etc. etc.
When we migrated from Invision this was one of the main things our designers fed back on from day one: how do we add a private comment?
YES! Due to an elaborate pre-Figma design system, our company really doesn't have a use for dev-mode. But the annotations would be such a great feature to document certain design decisions.
Second this. At my company we have started to place annotations in components that are adjacent to designs and visible to all viewers. Not as good, but the funny thing is that because we are doing this we have realised that we have little use for dev mode and are considering switching those seats to viewer seats - a few hundred of them.
+1 - This would be a game changer for my team. We are not able to actually use annotations as they are now because we almost always need to share files with outside stakeholders (clients, 3rd party teams, etc.). Simple change that would make this feature actually useful for my team.
+1!
No idea why this wasn’t included in last release... at minimum collab users should also be able to view these.
