Comments allow you to respond to feedback, collaborate with others, and iterate faster.
If you are the owner of a file, you will receive email notifications for all comments by default. If you are not the owner of a file, you will receive notifications for mentions and replies by default.
Note: In addition to receiving email notifications, you will also receive in-app notifications. In-app notifications cannot be disabled. Learn more about notifications in Figma →
To modify your email notification settings for a file:
- Click or press C to enter comment mode.
- Click at the top of the right sidebar in comment mode:
