Question

Annotations are very difficult to use and suggestions for optimization are needed

Please consider addressing the following two common issues with annotations:

1. Annotations can obscure the design. When a design frame is selected, it should be brought to the front instead of being covered by unrelated annotations.

2. Annotations do not support copy and paste. Users have to recreate and re-enter them manually, which is very inefficient.

These are very common use cases, and I hope Figma can address them as soon as possible.

    Honestly, I’ve run into the same frustrations with Figma’s annotations lately. When annotations cover up parts of the design or can’t be copied/pasted, it really slows down reviewing and handoffs, especially on bigger projects. I saw a similar breakdown on BizisTech about how annotation tools in other design apps handle layering and clipboard support better. Maybe Figma could add a toggle to bring selected frames forward or allow copy‑paste so we don’t have to redo notes every time. Curious what others do as workarounds right now.
