When merging branch, comments are not "copied"

When I merge a branch which has some comments, those comments are not copied/merged/… to main file.

Is it expected behaviour or “thing in progress”?
I would love to have those comments transfered. So i don’t forget anything 🙂

If I remember correctly, they answered this during their Office Hours (at least in the chat) and currently comments are note merged.

Don’t know if it will change in the future 🤷

Thanks. Didn’t know that.
Anyway I am loosing comments during merging. So I hope in including comments in merge.

  1. 3 years later. This is still case with branches. Comments are not merged into the main branch.

It would be great to know if it’s expected behaviour?

Same ​@Kelvin_Lin. Would be useful to at least have an option to carry over comments when merging.

Any updates on this? I don’t agree with the statement - trying to justify the absence of this feature. It’s a given that anything in a branch should stay when merged unless discarded due to a conflict.

2026 - comments still ignored during branch merge. Would appreciate an update on if this has or ever will be up for consideration. Everyone I work with, from UX designers to UX writers to POs to developers, would love to to see their comments move along with the merge. Without this, it’s a huge hassle to use comments.

By not integrating comments properly with the merge feature, Figma are essentially forcing users to choose between using comments or using branches, as they don’t function as expected when used together.

It would be helpful if comments came over when merging a branch. Otherwise, it's easy to miss feedback or forget something that still needs to be done.
