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.

Yes, the same way we can move linked containers with their connections in Figjam would be optimal.


Certainly, the annotations are overlapping the content.

Pleeease, we need this!!


Love annotations, hate auto-positioning. Great idea, genuinely stupid oversight. How to fuck up a good idea in one easy step.


+1 - Please, asap, I want to continue using the Figma Annotation instead of using my own annotation comp but overlapping things is not helping.

AGREE!!

+1. This seems such a huge oversight and means I have to keep using a 3rd party plugin as that lets me decide which side of the frame to put the annotation.

Let’s give this a bump. I kind of understand why they made the positioning automatic but at least let’s us pick left or right or top / bottom. 8-)

+1, please make annotations movable


+1 please make them movable


Just went searching for this! They keep covering my designs I have to move designs so they don’t overlap. I think they are a great feature and I love how you can add the component features as a list easily just let me move them out the way! You can’t then disconnect and attach anywhere I have to copy paste my comment then create a new annotation on a different part of the frame just to keep it out the way of the next design. Frustrating!!
