Bring back Comment numbers

Hello, in our team we have tasks related to the Figma comments (such as tasks 50 - comment 87), but I can not find the comments ID/numbers anymore, Is there a way to enable it again?

Love everything excluding 1 huge factor. I can no longer see the comment number. This is huge because I used the number as a shortcut note on a seperate document that listed my action items in order of priority. The numbers are no longer there, which is a big deal for my current workflow.

100%. I just entered a new issue expressing this same sentiment, for a different reason. Losing the numbers makes it much more difficult now to have my 6-person team all looking at the same comment when we’re working collaboratively over Zoom.

Yes 100% yes

10000% agree with bringing the numbers back, the decision to remove the #s has made things difficult to explain and ensure people are looking at the ‘same thing’

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a problem with this. Is there any way to switch the comment icon back to a number instead of the name/photo of the person who made the comment?

Losing the comment numbers was such a huge mistake! We have lots of client feedback on projects and use those numbers to reference different comments. Not having those numbers now makes the whole process cumbersome, slow, and difficult.

Agree. Please bring back the numbers. The avatars aren’t as helpful.

100% Agree! Comment numbers were so helpful, please bring them back!

Agree. Same issue here.

The zoom in/out in the comment section can be great, BUT it was horrible without a comment number. My client and my team members, while we having a meeting, we cannot remember which comments we were talking about (as there is no number in the comment anymore), while there are so many comments we need to resolve.

Missing comments number makes us work much slower, as they needed to find ‘wait what comment I was about to fix again…’. The team members are very annoyed with these new changes.

If you and the community have any better resolve, let me know. Because the only suggestion I can get is to put back the number of the comment. Please!

Thanks again.

Same issue! It frustrated my team members and clients as well!

It’s impossible to navigate without comment numbers

This is absolutely INSANE.
We have over a hundred comments in out project and each of them was numbered, we cross-references from one comment to another using a combination of links and comment number - now it’s gone.

I love Figma, but such a stupid mistake is ridiculous, I am sorry.
Figma, please find a way to restore comment number display.

커뮤니케이션이 어려워졌습니다… Communication has become difficult.
도움… help…

Completely agree! Return the numbers in the comments, please!

Now it is impossible to mention a specific comment in a private discussion out of Figma :((

I can only agree with all the comments above. Please, at least make it an option to use numbers again.

Yes, please bring back comment ID! We’ve just lost all our references. Thanks

Bring back numbers to comments.

Our client was very surprised/annoyed with the disappearence of comment numbers today, during the call. Not only we reference them all the time. Sometimes when there are hundreds of comments they also do a spreadsheet, where we group comments (by numbers!) to figure out which team in product design/development/integration should be in charge of this particular bulk of work, and what information they need to solve this.

Please bring back the numbers, it’s more important than the avatars.

100% agree. Please bring back comment numbers! We lost all of our references!!!

PLEASE BRING BACK COMMENT NUMBERs. IT IS URGENT!

Our dev team relies of comment numbers for bug/design fixes.

Taking away a useful feature is not considered a good ux.

Yes, the comment numbers had a huge profit. Please bring it back!

Meanwhile, I found this plugin called “42 comments”, it allows you to see the comment numbers and search comments by text [not by number]. Not the most efficient way, but helpful until Figma fixes this issue!

A disaster. All my notes are a mess now.
My order of tasks is broken!
I have no idea what my next task will be.
Oh, and my progress report is also useless right now!
