Enable/Disable comments

The “hide” comments is a good feature while that design is still a work in progress so there is not distractions or overlays on screen.

However, when a page has marked as “signed-off” / “ready for devs”, Figma should allow a “disable” feature so NO ONE with access to that specific page would be able to add further comments.

That would help (a lot) when designs are in development stage, so that specific page is “blocked” from further comments or updates. It also helps with traceability and records of released version.

+1 here: we use Figma for educational purposes and our templates get quite often vandalised by our students 😃

+1. Me, as a PM, I’d like to remove commenting, because I want to keep comments in our ticketing system (otherwise some Figma comments get lost, which is a problem).

I’d wish instead a “pin link” feature were I could point to a specific point in the file from a link, so I can leave a comment in any platform and get a direct link to the thing I’m referring to.

Yes please!!! Really need this feature!!!

+1, being able to disable and re-enable comments would be very helpful for collaborating with clients!

Push this LIVE ASAP!!!

Agreed. The ability to disable comments, therefore making the Figma file read-only for a anyone who has “can view” access, would be really beneficial 🙏

Disable comments so that certain files are “View-Only”. I share my file with thousands of students & I don’t want them to comment on the Figma file. I just want them to view the file & duplicate it to their draft

I can’t imagine that such service like Figma doesn’t have this feature. It’s so obvious that you want to share file with public and not get tons of comments you can’t control. And it’s been 2 years already and they don’t even give the estimate on when they plan to build this. Very disappointed! Will check Miro and Mural if they have that feature!

Agree. We want to direct our users to make comments via our official channels eg. Slack/Teams/Jira and not pollute the view-only shared Library of our Design System with comments.
