Comments in Community

Who can use this feature

Supported on any team or plan.

Anyone with a Figma account can browse the Figma Community. You need a Community profile to follow profiles, or comment on and like files, plugins, and widgets.

Comments let you engage with other members in the Figma Community. Use comments to provide encouragement, ask for feedback on your work, and build meaningful relationships with other creators.

Add comments

There are two types of comments in the Figma Community:

• General comments on a file, prototype, plugin's listing page, or widget's listing page.
• Pinned comments left on a specific location in a Community file

Add general comments

To add a general comment to a file, plugin's listing, or widget's listiing:

1. Click on a file, plugin, or widget in the feed to open the listings.
2. If the creator has turned on comments for their resource, you'll see the option to Add a comment.
3. Type your message in the field.
4. Click Post to add your comment.

Add pinned comments

Pinned comments let you leave feedback on a specific part of a published Community file. Use the viewport to add a pinned comment directly in the creator's file.

1. Open the listing page for the file.
2. Click in the top-right corner of the viewport to enter comment mode.
3. Your cursor will turn into a icon. Click on the location in the canvas where you'd like the comment to appear.
4. Type your comment in the field, then click Post to send.

You can @mention other creators in general and pinned comments so they are notified.

1. Begin typing your message in a general or pinned comment.
2. Press @ and type a creator's name to search for their profile.
3. Select a profile from the listed results.
