When i move my design elements/frames/etc., I expect all the pinned comments to move with them – but they don’t. instead i’m left with a bunch of floating comments (that are not attached to anything), which requires me to manually re-read each comment and move it again to its correct place. this is frustrating and time consuming. but what’s worse is when another user forgets to move the comments after they move the design elements, so when i return to the Figma file it’s very difficult to decipher the floating comments because they are not pinned to anything so i have no idea what they’re referring to. please keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments).
Dear Figma Team,
I hope you're doing well!
We truly appreciate all the great work you do, and we rely heavily on Figma's comment functionality for seamless collaboration with our clients. They provide feedback on both images and, most importantly, text passages.
However, we've noticed that comments don’t always stay anchored to the layout, which has led to misunderstandings and slowed down our workflow. Even when moving a comment, its original position should remain visible and linked to it. This has been quite frustrating for our clients, to the point where they are considering switching back to providing feedback via PDFs.
To keep them engaged with Figma and fully utilize its collaborative potential, we would love to see this issue addressed as a priority. Otherwise, we may be forced to return to Adobe Reader for feedback, which would be a step back for everyone involved. Additionally, it would be great to integrate features like text highlighting and strikethrough.
We really appreciate your time and support in resolving this, and we’re looking forward to any updates!
Best regards,
Aga

I wish I could upvote this 100x. Not having this makes collaborating with clients an absolute mess.

First post on this thread was 3 years ago. cough cough.
LOL! i thought it was not a pain until i had a whole team working with me on a project with loads of AUTOLAYOUTS happening. where are their comments you ask? well it’s at the same area where you commented on. did not move with the elements which is what you wanted to comment on the first place.
Now i have a whole file with a lot of random comments at random areas with random replies that state if they should close this ticket. it’s hilarious because i do not work with closing those tickets and comments. BUT now i have been given the task to copy past the comments and put them in a ticket. and the OCD inside of me is asking should i delete this and make sure no one sees this anymore or have another random comment near it and be questioned again.
PHEW waw. hard to clean up a figma file and easy to mess up because you have a dynamic space. please Figma help us out. you are wonderful and we do need this because AUTOLayout needs this support ASAP.
