Annotations are a great idea, but I think it would be beneficial to allow them to be added without being in dev mode. When something is marked for dev its already a finalised design. Adding annotations before marking as dev mode would save time and allow annotations to be added as we go along.

As a designer, I would find it super logical that annotations would also be in designer mode. I even think it is necessary that annotations are also visible in viewer mode. You also want to use annotations to explain functionalities. This can be to other stakeholders such as developers. The result is that if this is not the case, we as designers also have to create and maintain the designs with our own components that we use as annotations. That is inconvenient.
As a team, we have the following components to explain designs to customers, managers, developers and other colleagues.

+1!!! I think of behaviors/requirements as I am designing, and find it frustrating that I have to switch to Dev Mode → add an annotation → switch back to design mode every time i want to add an annotation. It also annoys me that I have to switch to dev mode to read my annotations. I want to be able to add annotations while i am designing.
