How Do You Add Annotations in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 8:29 pm

Figma is a vector drawing and animation software that lets you add annotations to your designs. Annotations are text or graphics that you can add to your design to explain something or to provide additional information.

To add an annotation in Figma, first select the element that you want to annotate. Then, click the Add Annotation button in the toolbar.

Annotations are a great way to provide more information about your design, or to explain something that might not be immediately apparent. For example, you could use an annotation to explain why a particular element is placed where it is, or to provide more information about a complex interaction.

PRO TIP: Annotations in Figma are a great way to add extra information to your designs, but they can also be a great way to clutter up your workspace if you’re not careful. When adding annotations, be sure to keep them relevant and organized, or you may find yourself overwhelmed by the amount of information you’re trying to keep track of.

When adding an annotation, you can choose from a variety of different types of annotations. The most common type of annotation is a note, which is simply text that you can enter into the annotation field. You can also add links, which will let you link to other elements in your design or to external resources.

Graphics can also be added to annotations. To add a graphic, click the Add Graphic button in the annotation toolbar. This will open up the Figma library, where you can choose from a variety of different graphics to add to your annotation.

Once you’ve added an annotation, you can move it around by clicking and dragging on the annotation field. You can also resize the field by clicking and dragging on the edges of the field. To delete an annotation, click the Delete button in the toolbar.

Annotations are a great way to provide more information about your designs in Figma. By adding annotations, you can make your designs more understandable and easier to use.
