Bring back Comment numbers

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.

    The zoom in/out in the comment section can be great, BUT it was horrible without a comment number. My client and my team members, while we having a meeting, we cannot remember which comments we were talking about (as there is no number in the comment anymore), while there are so many comments we need to resolve.

    Missing comments number makes us work much slower, as they needed to find ‘wait what comment I was about to fix again…’. The team members are very annoyed with these new changes.

    If you and the community have any better resolve, let me know. Because the only suggestion I can get is to put back the number of the comment. Please!

    Thanks again.

        It’s impossible to navigate without comment numbers

          This is absolutely INSANE.
          We have over a hundred comments in out project and each of them was numbered, we cross-references from one comment to another using a combination of links and comment number - now it’s gone.

          I love Figma, but such a stupid mistake is ridiculous, I am sorry.
          Figma, please find a way to restore comment number display.

              Completely agree! Return the numbers in the comments, please!

              Now it is impossible to mention a specific comment in a private discussion out of Figma :((

                I can only agree with all the comments above. Please, at least make it an option to use numbers again.

                  Yes, please bring back comment ID! We’ve just lost all our references. Thanks

                      Our client was very surprised/annoyed with the disappearence of comment numbers today, during the call. Not only we reference them all the time. Sometimes when there are hundreds of comments they also do a spreadsheet, where we group comments (by numbers!) to figure out which team in product design/development/integration should be in charge of this particular bulk of work, and what information they need to solve this.

                      Please bring back the numbers, it’s more important than the avatars.
