Private Comments on Prototypes and Design Files

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

Internal vs. external comments are important for the agency I work for. They have comments they don’t want clients to see. Need to fix this! InVision solved this already. With private comments

Anyone else at an agency going thru this ?

We also are looking forward to let go off InVision and use Figma for presentations and comments. But at the current state, it seems to be quite limited and not as good to manage as InVision still is.
I really hope this part of the product experience will improve soon…

Private comments on Figma files - being able to select who can view your comments or just having private comments only the user that made them can read.

I’d like a way to document my working thoughts on shared files without the other users being constantly pinged for it.

(Pardon the lazy design but hey it works)

Would be very nice feature. It would avoid designers, product owners, or clients to see dev’s dark technical comments on how to implement this part of the design…

Agree. It is a great feature to add to Figma.

Hi, I’m not sure how this community work.
But I have a small idea and I’m open to your thoughts

So, my idea is to make private comments. I don’t know about you, but I like to leave comments for myself, just leave my thoughts (or other goals), in the way that I like. At this moment I always need to remember, that people will see them.

Hmm, just notice, a similar topic, but otherwise, I still want to create this topic

If you don’t like this idea or don’t see the advantages, please share your thoughts

Or leave a plus, if you loveeee it

Have you considered using the “See No Sticky!” widget for hidden notes/comments?

yeah, but that’s not what I want

I want easy (with shortcut) left comments on a certain place (like comments work) and don’t make a lot of moves to open them, and hide in one click

I can’t put a bunch of stickers on top of the frame

But thanks to reply 💜

Hi Figma community!
It would be great to have an option to set comments to private/internal only, this way the client is not able to see any internal discussions and development notes dropped on the artboards.

I work at an Agency and this topic was discussed multiple times, hope we see a day where Figma finally adds this very basic feature to the comments. All we need is a simple toggle between public and private.
