Posting new Figma comments from the plugin

Posting a new Figma comment from the Commentful plugin โ€‹

To post a new comment, you can either leave a comment pin normally (using the native Comment feature in Figma), or you can click on the Plus icon button next to any status column under the Figma Comments tab in the Commentful plugin.

Once you've clicked the Plus button, you'll need to click on a single Figma layer, which will automatically attach the new Figma comment to that exact layer, making it easier to attach the comment to the layer (if its visual position moves around later, etc).

You will also be able to add metadata to your new Figma comment, like a title for the comment, custom tags, a custom status, due date and assignee.

Once you've selected the Figa layer and added your metadata, you can use the built-in markdown editor to write your new comment, then click the Post New Figma Comment button to post your new Figma comment.

Replying to Figma comment threads from the Commentful plugin โ€‹

You can reply to any Figma comment by clicking on its card under the Figma Comments tab, then using the built-in markdown editor to write your reply, then click the Reply To Figma Thread button to post your reply to the comment thread.
