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.

PLEASE BRING BACK COMMENT NUMBERs. IT IS URGENT!

Our dev team relies of comment numbers for bug/design fixes.

Taking away a useful feature is not considered a good ux.

Yes, the comment numbers had a huge profit. Please bring it back!

Meanwhile, I found this plugin called “42 comments”, it allows you to see the comment numbers and search comments by text [not by number]. Not the most efficient way, but helpful until Figma fixes this issue!

A disaster. All my notes are a mess now.
My order of tasks is broken!
I have no idea what my next task will be.
Oh, and my progress report is also useless right now!
Please find a way to restore comment number display.

Agreed - please return comment numbers. They are extremely helpful while iterating to reference a specific conversation.

Love everything but the numbers need to come back. It’s a huge part of my workflow and I use them to communicate to developers which issues belong to which comment numbers…

In the latest update it seems comment numbers were removed. This is a vital feature for our team when they reference specific comments regarding fixes or revisions needed for a design. Don’t get me wrong I like the new comment functionalities, but we cannot do what we are doing without the comment numbers. Let me know if there is a way to re-enable these please!

Thanks!
