The newly-introduced (as of today Jan 5, 2022) Comments features seem to have dropped ID number from each Comment. Please bring it back. When collaborating in real-time over Zoom w multiple designers/developers/product folks (multiple times a day!) this now makes it very difficult to describe WHICH comment the team should be focused on.

Before today’s change, the leader of the disussion would simply tell everyone that she’s talking about Comment #25 (for example). Now there’s a new layer of complication in getting people to understand which Comment you’re actually talking about, since they no longer have unique numbers.

Hello, in our team we have tasks related to the Figma comments (such as tasks 50 - comment 87), but I can not find the comments ID/numbers anymore, Is there a way to enable it again?

Love everything excluding 1 huge factor. I can no longer see the comment number. This is huge because I used the number as a shortcut note on a seperate document that listed my action items in order of priority. The numbers are no longer there, which is a big deal for my current workflow.

100%. I just entered a new issue expressing this same sentiment, for a different reason. Losing the numbers makes it much more difficult now to have my 6-person team all looking at the same comment when we’re working collaboratively over Zoom.

Yes 100% yes

10000% agree with bringing the numbers back, the decision to remove the #s has made things difficult to explain and ensure people are looking at the ‘same thing’

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a problem with this. Is there any way to switch the comment icon back to a number instead of the name/photo of the person who made the comment?

Losing the comment numbers was such a huge mistake! We have lots of client feedback on projects and use those numbers to reference different comments. Not having those numbers now makes the whole process cumbersome, slow, and difficult.
