What can you do when you have unattached comments? There should be an option to place it back on a frame or object inside the canvas. Vote here if you have the same issue. (original question here: What do you do with Unattached comments? )

It would be great if @figma can let us reattach lost, unattached comments back to a frame.
Even better if the comment automatically falls back to a children frame underneath when you ungroup a frame, to which the comment is attached. That just reduce unattached comments from happening.

Yes pleeeease. In a collaborative work environment I’d say this is considered a critical problem.

Same problem. Stakeholder accidentally moved the frame and unattached all the comments and they are now orphaned with no way of moving them back. In some cases it’s too difficult to tell what the original comment was referencing.

A tad frustrating! Now it’s really difficult to find the comments easily. Would be great to update this.

i do not understand the point of comment attaching, if moving a frame unattaches it. if it is “attached” it should move with it.

the request should not be to allow re-attaching, it should be “keep comments attached to their frame, by moving them with the frame” or something. the only comments that should be unattached should be because content was deleted, and those comments should be marked as “attached content deleted”. so you know what happened.
