Commenting Shortcomings:

  •  Lack of Context & History
    • Comments are tied to specific parts of the design but don’t provide a broader historical view of the feedback or decisions.
    • If you resolve a comment, it’s gone from the visible interface, which makes it hard to track why decisions were made.
    • Comments are always in a closed state. There needs to be an option to toggle between show latest comment/show collapsed/show none.
  • Limited Status Tracking:
    • Comments only have “Done” as a status, so you can’t track progress on individual items (e.g., “In Progress,” “Needs Discussion”).
    • Need the ability to write custom statuses with custom colors
    • You can’t categorize or add metadata to comments (e.g., “low-priority” vs. “critical” feedback), which would help prioritize responses.

  • Hard to Find Unread/Unresolved Comments:
    • Comments get lost in larger files with many pages and frames.​​​​​​​
    • You can’t easily filter comments by person, frame, or status. If someone tags multiple people or comments are spread across a large file, they can be hard to locate.

Hi ​@Chris Calabrese, thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback about the current commenting system. 

I’ll make sure to pass this feedback about improving the commenting experience along to our team for consideration. 

If you’d like, feel free to share more examples or specific use cases, thank you!
