Keep Comments pinned to design elements (including nested)

coming 2024，still out of this feature?

I found a workaround.

The comment seems to be attached to the most high level element on you canvas. This means, if you try to attach a comment to an element on an artboard… Figma will attach the comment to the artboard and not nested element. (hypothesis)

To make it simple,

• if you can, set yourself and your elements outside any artboard.
• Select the desired element
• Create a comment
• Move the element, the comment is now attached to it.

But I agree, not optimal at all.

haha…1 year later here i am…

Currently using sections with various huge component sets that have autolayout. When i shift position of the elements within the autolayout frame, the comments that i pinned on the nested frame don’t follow the element i shifted. We need to be able to pin to specific elements and not just top level frames, and need the comments to truly stay pinned. I am getting trust issues from this one.

Someone else has mentioned this here

That thread is marked as resolved but it really isn’t!

Also mentioned here as a bug

This is actually part of a bigger issue of how we relate to comments in general
which i stated here. It is not one or the other.

To everyone who wrote here, since this one was marked as solved and seems to not be sufficiently specific, i have made a new topic you can vote for: Keep comments pinned to specific nested elements (AUTOLAYOUT included)

Hey @Delia_Tomei_Villadsen, appreciate your feedback!
This is on our radar. I’m happy to pass this to our product team as a feature request for their consideration in future product updates, though I can’t guarantee an ETA for any improvements.

This is such an essential feature: I use auto-layout to organize rows of artboards and when I add a new one the comments stay in place while the artboards get shifted so it’s hard to see what comment relates to what. Allow me to anchor them to specific components in the designs so that they remain in place. Show a border when the comment is selected to easily identify what component it refers to.

This has been mentioned already in so many threads, can’t believe it’s still not been implemented: I use auto-layout to organize rows of artboards and when I add a new one the comments stay in place while the artboards get shifted so it’s hard to see what comment relates to what. Allow me to anchor them to specific components in the designs so that they remain in place. Show a border when the comment is selected to easily identify what component it refers to.

My team uses a lot pronouns in our comments. And our compositions use a lot of autoframing. I wish I could attach a comment to an object (photo, text, etc) so that when a section is deleted, and the whole page moves up, comments stick to what they are referring to.

we desperately need this @Figma_Moderation @support_team @Figma_Support @figma

pin/anchor a comment directly to elements within auto layout

or at the very least offer a click-drag that allows comments to be included in that selection so they move everything together.

FIGMA NEEDS TO BE A COLLABORTIVE TOOL - hundred of floating comments that are impossible to track and ensure feedback is being addressed is unacceptable
