{Commenting as Guests}
Clients wanting to give access to prototypes to temporary teams without the need to create accounts as guests only, allowing comments and feedback within Figma prototypes.
Possibly allowing these users to make comments on prototypes as Guests with temporary names.
Exactly. A basic account setup might seem straightforward to designers and devs, but to the average office worker the friction is just too great. Defs one of the biggest issues with Figma right now imo. We are getting major pushback from colleagues who don’t want to use the tool with clients for this exact reason.
Wow! I am having the exact same experience at work! It’s crazy. Figma is so powerful yet we are being held back by this seemingly trivial flaw. I hope Figma does something about it asap.
Absolutely essential. This issue is causing unnecessary friction and as a result my team doesn’t want to use prototype links with clients - which is crazy! We are having to create pdfs like its 2010. All because people in my team don’t want our clients to have issues with reviews.
Outside the design/dev bubble people have little patience for creating accounts and having to formally login to comment.
Just a reminder that even the original InVision Web App did this better than Figma – almost a decade ago. And InVision did a great job at managing share links (even revoking and removing links, changing rights afterwards) and setting viewer rights, password protected projects etc.
Removing friction and obstacles for clients / viewers is so so important.
Please @Figma_Support we need Guests to be able to view and comment designs without any kind of registration.
Badly need this right now! Our client just sent us multiple screenshots with their comments. I was about to inform them to comment directly without knowing they needed to create an account to do so.
NOT having this feature is being disruptive to our flow of communication and collaboration. Definitely defeats the purpose of presenting and sending prototypes for feedback.
We work with multiple clients who need to comment on prototypes. Since being forced to create an account our engagement with comments on prototypes have significantly decreased vs when we used XD.
This feature would better help us fully transition to Figma 100% vs using Figma internally and XD for client-side projects…
