Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

+1 yes, figma annotations viewable to all!!! <3

+100 Totally agree. I really love the new annotations but as mentioned by others the usefulness and value is very limited if only designers or developers can see them. reviewers and other stakeholders shouldn’t need dev seats. 

Agree with Michel A.  I do love the new annotations especially with the custom tags, however I liked the interactivity of them in dev mode previously.  We often utilize these for dev and behavior notes, but with them either always on or always off, you have to really space out your annotations so it doesn’t cover other content.  If there was a way to implement something like before where you just see a summary of the # of annotations attached to the frame and when you click on that frame the notes show, that would be a great in between from the previous dev only annotations.

Love the annotation feature….very useful and helpful…
Would be nice if I could place them where it makes sense and it not just snapping to the middle of a frame or the side...sometimes it obscures screen flow lines.

Also, if I fail to match the target element, I'd like to reassign the annotation to another element.

Careful Figma, you’re going the way of Adobe. 
I feel like you’re very focused on internal teams and forgetting many, many people use Figma in agency settings and need to share view-only links with clients. 
Clients absolutely need to see annotations — or at least give the option in the sharing settings.

Another up for making Annotations visible for everyone. This is such a bummer and I really don’t understand this decision of Figma 

very slapdash at the moment, great idea and nothing i cant build myself (i already built design annotation components to add to designs anyway and theyre better than the new figma ones) but its a start I’m sure they’ll improve over time, e.g. needs:

• reassignment
• change positioning
• change visibility
• link to data etc

Have to disagree with  ​@Nellya here. 
What’s the purpose of dev-mode if all the features are shown in design-mode?

I feel it’s better to keep them separate and show based on roles. Annotations and Measurements are meant for developing, so they are better suited to be shown in dev-mode. 
Showing them in design mode will just make the UI that much more cluttery. 
And to make it worse, hiding annotations/measurements in design-mode also hides in dev-mode! A big blunder, if you ask me. Hiding in design mode should not hide in dev-mode.
