Viewing native Figma comments left by any Figma users in your current file

You can View all of the Figma comments in your file from the Figma Comments tab in the Commentful plugin.

Loading Figma comments from your file automatically ​

After you've successfully connected your Figma file to the plugin, Commentful will automatically check for new Figma comments in your file every 60 seconds (to avoid API rate limits), allowing you to see all of your Figma comments at once, and organize them into a Trello-style board, search and filter them, add todo items, or apply custom metadata like tags, assignees, due dates, etc, to them.

** Figma API Rate Limits (Effective Nov 17, 2024)** Figma limits API requests to 5 per minute for Figma users on their Starter (free) tier. Commentful automatically mitigates this limit with caching and request limiting. For heavier usage (for example, posting many comments per minute via the Commentful plugin), consider upgrading to a Full Figma seat.

See an activity overview of all the latest Figma comments post ​

You can click on the Alert Bell icon button to quickly see an overview of all of the latest Figma comment activity in your Figma file, and quickly jump to where they're located in your Figma file, or open up the comment in the plugin to view the full thread of replies (or add your own new reply).

Jump to a pin to show where a Figma comment is on your canvas ​

Select a numbered Pin icon to jump to the comment's location on the Figma canvas. Commentful adds a matching visual pin and removes it when the plugin closes.
