How to Hide Comments in Figma : Step-by-Step Guide
Begin by opening the Figma project where you want to manage your feedback. This is where all your designs and comments live, so make sure you're in the right file before proceeding.
Once inside the project, locate the "Comments" button in the upper left corner of the interface. Clicking this will open the comments panel, giving you access to all feedback left on the design.
Next, look for the "Settings" icon within the comments panel—usually represented by a gear symbol. Selecting this will reveal options to customize how comments are displayed and managed.
In the settings menu, choose the option labeled "Hide comments." This feature allows you to temporarily conceal comments, helping you focus on the design without distractions.
You're all set! Comments are now hidden from view, giving you a cleaner workspace to review and work on your designs more effectively.
