Changing the location of annotations

+1
This feature is basically unusable until we have the option to stop them blocking other important elements

When adding an annotation, it’s automatically positioned on the right, which sometimes overlaps with the next screen.
It would be great if, during annotation editing, we could also choose the direction of the callout.
For example, it would be useful to orient it from the top or bottom instead of always defaulting to the right.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback! We’ve passed this request along to the team for consideration. There’s no update or timeline to share at the moment, but we’ll post here if anything changes.

While we can’t promise it will be implemented, please know your feedback is genuinely appreciated and will be taken into account for future improvements.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your input!

How about just add the ability to move annotations around anywhere we please?

I need to be able to attach the annotation to the relevant part of the design- for example, I need to attach the corner radius annotation to the actual radius, not have it stuck halfway down the card with the radius. 

Something as simple as needing the annotation on the left side, as opposed to it only defaulting to the right side is annoying af 🙄

Come on Figma make it already!

+1 — adding the ability to at least change which side (L, R, T, B) the annotations are positioned relative to the frame feels essential and is conspicuously missing.

I second this so much! I’ve also noticed the annotations became way bigger and it literally spoiled my OCD positioning system lol because now the annotations are all over my designs 🥲 Would be AMAZING to have annotations size and position as a setting

+1 on this, also my annotations are doing all sorts of crazy, inexplicable things like being auto-positioned OUTSIDE a section in which they’ve been placed. Or only appearing at certain zoom levels. Sometimes an annotation gets placed where I need to put a flow arrow pointing to the next screen. Need ability to control these for them to be usable and not disruptive.

Any movement on this one? Just putting my voice in on this. Without this ability, it does make it hard to share with stakeholders.

Adding my vote for yes, please.

It is very surprising that the Figma team released this feature and didn’t even consider how annoying it would be not having the ability to move it. Even more surprising is that it hasn’t been hotfixed already.

+1 to this.

The annotations feature needs a lot of work, currently feels half-baked. Please show some love to it.

They already have connectors with this kind of logic in Figjam, and you can copy the connector from there into a  Figma canvas and it will still work.  Would be nice if they can take that logic and apply it to their annotation tool as the hardest work (at least from an outsider perspective) is already done.

+1 please add 
without this, the feature is useless

The annotations feature is great other than adding a note often overlaps other important information. A fix to reposition the annotation would be greatly appreciated! 

Bump. Please!
