Figma needs no introduction, but its feedback workflow gets messy once you invite people outside the core team. Commentful is the feedback plugin that keeps everything tidy. You select the frames, publish them, and invite reviewers with whatever level of access makes sense.
Organized feedback loops
Comments arrive as cards you can triage. Assign them, set priorities, and drag them through stages just like any other project board. Designers stay in Figma, stakeholders stay informed, and nothing falls through the cracks.
Shareable without oversharing
Because Commentful sits on top of Figma rather than inside the file, you can expose only the pages you want. That limits scope creep and keeps sensitive explorations private.
Using the plugin day to day
- Highlight the latest work and publish it with Commentful.
- Send the board link to whoever needs to weigh in.
- Resolve the cards as you ship updates and archive the board when it’s done.
It’s the simplest way I’ve found to keep feedback moving without overwhelming the team.
Keep feedback measurable
Commentful’s board metrics show how many items each department submitted, which stages take the longest, and whether new work is piling up. Use those insights to adjust staffing or set better expectations. When leadership asks for proof that the team is responding quickly, you have actual data instead of anecdotes.
Favorite workflows
- Create a “triage” board for PMs to collect internal notes, then graduate items to a “client review” board once they’re ready.
- Invite copywriters or translators as commenters only; they can suggest edits without touching the design file.
- Use Commentful’s API/Zapier hooks to send resolved cards to Slack, so everyone sees progress without digging.
Calling Commentful a Figma feedback plugin captures only half of it; it’s really a mini operating system for your approval cycles.
