Duplicating/Copying Annotations in Dev Mode

At one point the Annotation feature in Dev Mode allowed me to add an annotation to a frame, and when I copied that frame the annotation would be copied as well. This doesn’t seem to be working for me anymore. It was extremely nice when it did, because I often copy frames either to make a new iteration, put a copy on a different page, put a copy in a different file, build out a user flow, etc. and having to remake an annotation over and over is hard to keep track of.

Personally I need annotations to be connected to whatever I first put them on until I specifically delete it, but I can see how this could be annoying extra work for people who do not need that. Maybe this could be a setting, where you check on/off whether you want annotations to duplicate or not.

Hey @Kylie_Dye, thanks for flagging this!

Our Dev mode team confirmed that this is a bug. Please keep an eye on this topic for updates from the team:

the annotations feature is awesome and that it is copied is also very useful!

however it becomes a curse when you want to copy annotated objects without annotations. could you please allow to copy object without annotations, or at least an option to remove all annotations from the object in one click/key combo?
