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!

x2 adding a comment here to quantify the urgency of the need to be able to transfer comments between files 🙏

+1 on this…. drives me nuts as it doesn’t allow file clean up.

Bump. 
I wonder what is the original intention for comments in Figma - because the ability to move / copy comments (between pages in the same file or different file) seems very intuitive / a no-brainer. So this is either a technical constraint or a business decision.
If it’s a business decision, then maybe Figma team can explain the intention better, and release another feature that facilitates better documentations.

Hey everyone, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I completely understand the urgency around this, which is why I’ve flagged this again internally so the team can take it into consideration.

While I can’t make any promises around timelines or implementation, feel free to keep an eye on our release notes for any updates. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback!

Just piling on! Not being able to include comments in a duplicate file is a big pain point.

Hey everyone! 👋

After reading through this thread and seeing the demand, I built a plugin to solve this: Comments Mover

🔗 https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1563568797363678258/comments-mover-pages-coming-soon

What it does:
- Bulk transfer comments between files
- Preserves original author names in comment text
- Works with any files you have access to
- Perfect for archiving, duplicating, or migrating projects

How it works:
1. Paste source file URL (where comments are)
2. Paste target file URL (must be a duplicate)
3. Select comments to transfer
4. Done! Comments appear in target file

Pricing:
- 2 free transfers to try it out
- Use code WELCOME for 15% off your first purchase

I built this as a solo developer after experiencing the same pain. If you have feedback or issues, email me at urasergeevich@gmail.com

Hope this helps! Let me know what you think.
