Changing the location of annotations on the sheet


Andrey Ch

It would be a great idea to add the ability to move annotations (сhanging the place). Right now, they’re fixed in place and can overlap other elements. And you cannot change it.
What I mean is the ability to reposition an annotation freely while keeping the link to the target object intact.
Annotations are a really useful feature—thank you! Previously, I had to create similar functionality using my own objects.
 

Please do not move this offer to another discussion. 🙏
Can we move the Figma Annotations (in dev mode) from one Figma project to another?
These are different questions.

+1, annotations are great but with auto-positioning they quickly create a mess

It is not a nice sight looking at annotations stacked on top of eachother when a simple top, bottom left right positioning would easily resolve that problem. Does not even have to be automatic, can be manual completely :)

+1 this is driving me nuts

Agree completely. I was really excited to see this launch but the lack of positioning has really hindered adoption.

Just a simple top, right, bottom, left option would avoid this.

plus,

 

It would be nice to be able to leave annotations on sections or frames, in addition to positions.

+1, can’t move annotations around when they cover important stuff

They have the potential to be useful but the fixed location make them more of a hindrance than a benefit at this point.
