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

Hello,

Are there plans to keep comments within pages/frames when:

  • Duplicating a page
  • Copy-pasting all the elements within a page
  • Duplicating a document

I tried all three methods and the comments don’t get copied across, there’s also no way to select them to manually copy+paste them.

I see absolutely no reason for this not to be the default behavior when performing all of the above actions.

Are there plans to introduce this?

If so when do you plan to add it?

Thank you!

I’m chiming in here as this is a huge +1 from our team of 10. Our file has gotten so large and complex and when we want to split pages off, it becomes a choice of if we want to lose context from our comments or not.

I really hope to see this soon, because we’ve been having this issue for at least a year and it would make our Figma experience 10x…

Agree with Mike - our small team often overloads files as well. Comments are essential for our stakeholders, engineers, everyone. Battling memory vs. comments when we encounter this is crazy.

I really need it

I hope this gets added soon. At least allow us to toggle the option to copy comments on demand.

We need a way to transfer the commend to another file.

I think a simple way to do this is if comments are linked to a frame (as they are today), they should copy with the frame. It doesn’t make sense that that’s not the case.

+1 This would be a huge help for larger teams where comments are spread out across many files and potentially store the responses and interactions of multiple people

Another request for this. As a project grows and we need to start separating pages into different files, comments not being able to be moved is a massive headache.

I with I could copy paste frames over to a new page, or a new file (btw why can’t you move a page to a different file 😭), and have the comments come with!

Also my comments seem to be buggy, and they don’t stay with a specific internal frame or component, they maintain a fixed position in my outermost frame. So I can’t attach a comment to a specific field on the page and have it maintain that connection if the designer moves items around on the page. Some people say their comments stay attached to individual items, but mine never have.
