Copy comments from a Figma files to another one while duplicating/copying content/designs

I use pages to contain versions for very large feature explorations. My “Project” file gets bogged down very quickly because of the scale of my components, so I typically create an “[ARCHIVE] Project” file to accompany each project file at this point just to keep the memory usage as low as possible.

Each version contains multiple iterations, concept explorations, prototypes, contextual conversations, decision making points, counter-factuals, etc… The comments associated with deprecated / archived projects are critical to understanding the overall progression of an active project, along with its arc of design direction.

Currently, I manually copy+delete comments from active files and paste them to archive files. It is beyond tedious. Comments often feel like a second-class feature in Figma, and even this requested enhancement would be a huge increase in my QoL as a product designer.

adding a comment here to quantify the urgency of the need to be able to transfer comments between files 🙏

+1 Why wasn’t that already implemented? It’s over 2 years! It’s such an essential feature. Not even duplicating a whole file copys the comments.
