Enable/Disable comments

I’d like to disable comments while I’m working so the client doesn’t comment on it in real time. And be able to turn it back on when the design is done.

We need this feature so badly! End users are constantly tagging people in published component library files. The design system team needs to be able to manage these requests in a different way. Please give us a way to disable comments!

Would also like to weigh in on this one and keep it alive 😅

Our team would really benefit from this feature. We have multiple clients who keep commenting on open projects after the feedback deadline has passed.

We badly need this feature! Commenting shouldn’t be public — it makes no sense.

+1 I need to be able do actively permit comments if I want them. It shouldn´t even be the default honestly. The problem is:

We have to export designs/layouts into a client-file, so they do not mess with us designers while creating. This is already problematic since at times we need to sync two files. Now receiving comments in the “presentation” version ist problematic if we mark part as “ready for dev” in our internal working figma. Our formal way is through project management to provide valuable feedback to clients and sort out any content related changes that do not belong into the design process. 

I do not need clients commenting “please finish every sentence with a period, also please change this word everywhere to that word we used in the brochure” and then on top provide feedback.

Late to the party but PLEASE … give us a disable comments button. Especially with the instance of Figma Slides embed decks. It has such great promise as a tool but the ability of random folks to spam comments on a presentation that is publicly shared (and the inability to resize) is a deal breaker.
