About this plugin

A simple little annotation plugin as my first contribution to the Figma communiy. I developed it primarily for myself and my team. But feel free to use it if you like it.


Instructions for use:

1. [optional] Select a frame, component, section, etc.

2. Choose the annotation type

3. Write your annotation

4. Make a few settings

  • Outline selection
  • Show usernames
  • Show date

5. Post your annotation


Under the "Read" tab, all annotations on the current page of the document are listed.


A few notes:

  • Annotations can be edited later in the respective frame. Text changes are also applied under the "Read" tab after a refresh of the list. 
  • The "Read" list can be refreshed by clicking on "Write" and then on "Read" again.
  • If the number is subsequently changed, only the number from the annotation is taken into account in the "Read" list, not the number from the marker. 
  • The automatic incrementing of numbers only takes integers into account. (no a, b, c etc.)
  • If an annotation is deleted, it is no longer shown in the "Read" list after a refresh.
  • Missing numbers in the sequence are automatically replaced with the next annotation ( integers only)


Please be patient with me, I'm a designer for a living and a developer for fun.
