Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

I’m absolutely tilted over this. It’s one things to set specific permissions around a feature, another to NOT EXPLICITLY COMMUNICATE THOSE PERMISSION-RELATED RESTRICTIONS TO USERS. My dev team noticed that it was atypical of me to not leave annotations (I had previously used widgets to do so), and that’s how I found out Figma annotations are not visible to users with View seats. 

I truly don’t understand why annotations needs to be behind a paid seat. It seems like most other organization here has made annotations as part of their dev hand off process. This isn’t just a minor inconvenience to the user but a huge disruption to an entire process at an organization. I do hope that Figma does reconsider making annotations available for anyone who just wants to view the wireframes.

Honestly, If my annotations can’t been seen by anyone i share with or give at least view access, I will not use these annotations. It would be a waste of time to only talk to one person when its very much a full team effort.

This is disgusting money-grubbing behaiviour Figma team. Annotations are useless if they’re behind a paid seat. Please open them to all, or don’t bother having them. Incredibly disappointed that the company is ignoring user needs and just trying to make as much money as possible. Another Adobe in the making. Users will abandon you if you don’t actually provide a good experience.;

That quote is perfect.

Esta hermosa funcionalidad, y muy útil por cierto, sólo puede ser visualizada por personas dentro del mismo TEAM, pero a veces trabajamos Diseñadores separados del equipo de desarrolladores y no los tenemos incluidos dentro del mismo TEAM.

Con lo cual esta funcionalidad de comunicación no nos sirve. Sería genial que estas Anotaciones que nos permite categorizar, pudiera ser compartida. Me gusta utilizarla para explicar temas de contenido adicionales o interacciones que debe realizar y que no siempre se pueden diseñar. 

En mi caso trabajo con muchas funcionalidades de Sistemas muy complejos y las anotaciones me resultan muy útiles para documentar ciertos procesos. Esta documentación es necesaria compartirla con DESARROLLADORES, pero también con Product Owners, Funcionales, Manager etc. Más aún si quien desarrolla no está dentro del equipo. Cómo podríamos hacer para que se pueda compartir en la opción de VIEW y no sólo en EDIT. Gracias!

It has made my life so much easier. I was using a plugin earlier for putting sticky notes everywhere for developers now this has become easier.

It is absolutely absurd that user’s without a full or eng seat can’t see annotations. I have PM users who just view files (or have figjam seats) and the annotations are useful for them as well. Feels like a money-grab by Figma. Very disappointing 

+1 !!

Now that they are available to add in the design mode and have different tags for different teams, I figured they would be visible to all, but was mistaken. Please make this happen!

Seems like this is actually a bug?
