Different Comment Types for Different Use Cases

Completely agree, we are getting to the point where the Comments functionality is just not good enough for the different types of feedback. I want to be able to tag a comment or give it a ‘type’ such as: UAC note, Stakeholder, Design Iteration, Verify with Customer, Verify with CS, Discuss with Dev etc etc etc .
The filtering /search capability really needs to improve, when i’m on a page I only want to see Comments for that page - it gets way too crowded when you are working on multiple projects/screen and all the comments are jumbled up

Yes, our team could also greatly benefit from a feature like this. In addition, we often have the need that certain stakeholders on the file are not supposed to read certain comments, something like a private comments for individuals/roles/group would therefore also help a lot.

Has anyone else faced these kind of problems or has any potential solutions in the meantime?

Currently we use a separate file that we share with external stakeholders (mostly clients) to discuss product and technical questions based on hi-fi designs.

Exactly my thought. I’d love to be able to quickly distinguish comments I left for the clients from my personal notes. What you are proposing would be perfect !

Pleeeeeeeease @anon21722796 make this happen

1. Comments per page rather than per file
2. Allow user to restart comment numbering
3. Tour mode

I agree… for me this is a big one as It is hard to keep track of which comments are just general conversation vs design updates that need to be made.

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

I can’t differentiate comments when they are regarding different properties of their position. I beg you to add color or marker or anything to make one comments appear differently then others.

2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

In my our front-end project we use Figma as a design tool.

Front-end Developers then use comments to divide complex mockup into Components
But there are other things in the application too: states, selectors, commands, highter-order-components, apis, etc

Besides Components I would like to see other project parts on mockups as well but I want them to show up differently.

We tried once putting all the things together one color but I didn’t work.

3. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
   (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

Any ideas? May be there’a plugin or something. I found one but it’s for drawing comments in the current projects layout. Not what was needed

It would be nice to view, search, and organize comments by various means and filters, such as timeframe written (eg critiques or workshops), specific users, specific UI, feedback vs to-do’s vs questions. Scrolling through all the comments like a facebook feed is time-consuming and it’s difficult to find specific comments.

Yes! I’d really love the option to tag a comment as a task 🙂

I really wish Figma would implement the feature in InVision whereby something can be a comment or a note for different team members. When there are numerous comments (sometimes up to 100+) the ability to sort/filter between feedback, notes, FAO designers, FAO developers etc, would be super useful
