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 worst feature updates experience ever. Made something looks cool but useless and even creates more problems. Impossible to communicate, track the comments, or do version control. We had around 300 comments on a board and once people open the file it looks like pizza is displayed everywhere. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.

    Same here. I am content designer and I have used comment numbers to collaborate with various stakeholders. It had helped me to prioritise esp during zoom calls. It’s been crazy ever since the numbering of comments were dropped. Any update on this?

    It seems to me that the numbers have lost their relevance, since it is possible to copy a link to a specific comment. They are also now visible by default. But since there are so many willing, then you can give the opportunity to turn on the number. It’s become so much cleaner for me.

      Please bring it back. In our team we use numbers to link and communicate as well. Seriously guys, no offense, but who came up with the idea to redo the comments without the numbers? This new format is not cool. What research did you do?

          The feature of showing the numbers already existed… I can´t understand the motivation to remove something that is already ready and is used by everyone! My clients used the numbers to reference what they were talking about, now it´s gone.

            Guys, bring the numbers back please!! If the solution already worked perfectly, I don’t understand why change it

            I’m glad I am not the only one who’s having trouble with that!

              Please return the comment numbers! Avatars are useless and the comment number helps a lot with prioritization, the link to the comment is a very cool feature, but it should not exclude the number, sometimes it’s faster to give the comment number to a team member than to copy the link.

                Hey there,

                We are a team with over 100 designers who interacted with over 2400 clients this past year. Removing the numbers on the comment it is just a nightmare for us. Sometimes we have a dozen people working on the same file.

                What was the intention behind removing the numbers? Please bring it back!!!
