Press C or choose the comment tool, then click a screen or element to pin a comment there. You can also choose Comment on this element from Inspect or the Layers menu.

  • Markup. Draw rectangles, ellipses, arrows, lines and text on the design (R, O, A, L, T; S to select).
  • Attachments. Add up to 6 per comment: a link, a file or a project reference. Editors can also add an attachment to the Board as a reference.
  • Mentions. Type @ to mention a teammate in the Comments panel.
  • Ask the agent. Ask the agent to fix this opens the design agent with the comment as context. Only a person can resolve a thread.
  • Press ⌘ Enter to send.

Viewers can read comments; reviewers and editors can write them.

Comments on a release

In Review mode, Pin a comment pins your comment to a screen, state and size of the release you are reviewing, not to the draft. When a newer version is sent, earlier pins stay where they were made, drawn dashed and labelled with their version (for example on v0.1.0), so feedback never lands on a layout it wasn't written about. Guests on a release's review link can pin comments too. See approval policies and team review.
