Copy comments when duplicating a page, duplicating a project, manually copy-pasting frames, etc

copy comments from a Figma file to another one while duplicating/copying content/designs.

As a researcher (aka I am not the Figma Guru) working with designers in the Figma files. Being able to have a copy of my comments for my records as researcher and pushing duplicate comments for the designer to resolve as they wish to without interfering with my historical copy of why we decided to change the design would be a wonderful product addition!

I often need to copy and paste frames to a different Figma page or elsewhere in the same page. However, comments are not copy-pastable to my knowledge.

These frames always contain valuable comment threads that I keep to record important discussions that have design implications.

My only recourse is to either (1) manually drag comments to a location in the same page or (2) manually create new comments and copy/paste the original comments’ text copy.

Has there been a solution to the copying over of comments along with a file if you copy the file from 1 file to a new file in Figma? Thank you

Hi - I’ve been working on some flows that have pinned comments. The page was getting crowded, so I was attempting to split the flows onto individual pages. However, when I cut and pasted the artboards with pinned comments, the artboards successfully cut/pasted to the new location, but the comments stayed where they were 😦 I would love it if the comments traveled with the content across pages - just so I can move my work around but keep a record of the conversation surrounding it. Thx!!

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to use the API to get file comments and then post them in the same location on another file which is a duplication of the original.
Figma attaches comments in frames to a node_id.
Does anyone know if the new file (the duplicated one) has a different node_id for the frames than the original? if so, how can I post the comments on the new file at the same location, any ideas?

My company lets developers access one master doc–us designers create our designs in our messy files, clean things up, and then paste everything in the master doc.

I LOVE THE COMMENTING FEATURE, but bc I can’t copy/paste comments, I can’t communicate specs/interactions with my dev team in this way. Can we make copy/pasting comments along with designs into another Figma file possible please?

Right now I have to transcribe comments into out-of-frame design elements for my handoff.

THANKS.
