Toggle visibility of DevMode Annotations on the design side

Our design team likes the option to use the Annotation hints in design mode, but would also like the ability to quickly hide them.

Being able to have the annotations toggle on / off in design mode would be a huge help. I take A LOT of screenshots to get rapid feedback and they’re constantly in the way.

How is this so hard to implement. It’s bugging out everyone, and it seems like a quick fix. Figma became the very thing it promised not to be.

Not sure why dev annotations should be hiding part of my designs all the time -- we need a toggle to turn this off!

Annotations are polluting the design space. This feels like a bug. Please make them hidden by default in design mode

Exactly; I’m not sure why they suddenly changed it so Dev mode annotations are showing up in Design mode. This feels like a bug, not a feature. The whole point was to contain these annotations in Dev mode, why in the world would I want them in Design mode?

And yes, while technically deselecting “Annotations” under the View menu hides them, it does so on both Design and Dev mode. Did they even test this at all???

A colleague just discovered that you can turn them off here. I hope they bring back the toggle option or a shortcut, though. This adds unnecessary steps.

If you de-select Annotations in the View menu, shift T basically works as a shortcut to show and hide annotations

Shift + Y will hide and show them, but they are currently shown by default in every file which is annoying. Would be great to be able to hide them by default, because now when I hide them in one file, it shows up again the next time I open the same or other files.

Agreed!!! This is extremely annoying. I bounce around between a lot of files during my day and this is an extra step I now have to take before I can do any work. Very distracting. Please fix this asap!!
