Figma async collaboration improvement

Problem Context

Current Figma collaboration tools excel in real-time editing but fall short in asynchronous change tracking:

• Designers cannot easily understand incremental design changes
• Version history is an all-or-nothing approach
• Contextual understanding of design evolution is fragmented
• Manual annotation is time-consuming and inconsistent

Imagine you are designing in the same Figma file as another designer on your team working on a shared feature, how might you enable each other to easily find out what important updates you have been making?

Design Solution Objective

Create a lightweight, intuitive feature that allows designers to:

• Understand design changes at a granular level
• Reduce cognitive overhead in tracking design iterations
• Provide rich context without extensive manual documentation
• Support effective asynchronous collaboration

Please create a mid to high fidelity happy flow. Feel free to use an existing design system. Here’s one for reference:
