A few updates to Figma Make to make editing, previewing, and iterating even smoother: preview your Make across screen sizes using a new device dropdown menu and custom dimension editor; Make now saves named versions and tracks every code edit, so you can quickly review changes and restore to an earlier state at any time.

“We’re introducing a series of new features that remove barriers for keyboard-only designers across most Figma products. Users can now pan the canvas, insert objects, and make precise selections quickly and easily. And, with improved screen reader support, these actions are read aloud as users work, making it easier to stay oriented.”

“If a variable or style name gets cut off in the picker, you can now hover over it to see the full name.”

The new Variables modal got search and filter capabilities and now opens edge-to-edge for better visibility.

Miggi and special guests walk through updates across Figma Make, Sites, Buzz, FigJam, Slides, Dev Mode, Draw, and Design. Highlights include style context and Supabase integration in Make, vector simplifying and offset in Draw, grid updates, Dev Mode’s interactive inspection, and Sites’ background video fill.

“Organization admins at companies using Governance+ for Figma Enterprise can now prevent users with view-only access from copying, saving, or exporting files. These controls can be applied to guest viewers or to all viewers, and can be configured at the organization or workspace level to align with your data-sharing policies.”

Grid improvements, offering more precision and control: delete rows and columns, set min and max, and adjust multiple grids with a faster grid picker. The Grid Playground community file was also updated with new features.

Now you can bring an existing design library to Figma Make, so the model can extract color palette and usage guidelines, typography and custom fonts, as well as core styling elements. You can also manually define rules for the model to follow via a guide​line​.md file. Watch the above video from Make PM Holly Li, or read the help article.

You can now adjust the width of your stroke at any given point along a path with the new variable width stroke vector editing tool. Variable width stroke also makes it possible for users to draw with pressure sensitivity on tablets. Figma will set the stroke width to reflect the amount of pressure applied at each point when drawing with a stylus, which makes freehand drawing in Figma more realistic. (Still no iPad app though.)

“New in Dev Mode MCP Server: Annotations are included as design context. Generated code now benefits from both the structure of your design and your design intent.”

“You can now opt-in to receive push notifications from Figma in your browser, the same way you do in Figma’s desktop app. Once you allow Figma to send you notifications in the browser, you will be alerted to comment replies, @ mentions in comments, and @ mentions in the file (i.e. on a sticky in FigJam) in real time.”

Sweet, the text in Figma is now autocompleted with AI.

Beautiful work by Tim Van Damme. See a sneak peek of a few more on their way.

Nice to see that Figma addresses some of the early accessibility concerns with Figma Sites.

It’s been a year since Figma introduced the new UI at last year’s Config. The beta is over and the previous UI is no longer supported, everyone has been moved over to UI3.

The new curved connectors mode for right-brained people. I’ll stick to my neatly organized ​“elbowed” connectors.

The new Edit Image feature allows changing an image using prompts, powered by gpt-image‑1. The Make an Image feature got an AI model picker so users can choose between gpt-image‑1, Gemini Imagen 3, or Titan V2. Additionally, the AI beta was rolled out to all Professional, Organization, and Enterprise plans. If you’re not seeing AI features, check that your Admin has your AI access toggle turned on.

Jesse Showalter explores 5 latest features: Lock Aspect Ratio, Collapse Layers, Reorder Modes and Collections, Accessibility Contrast Information, and Copy and Paste Styles.

Create QR codes for websites, text, Wi-Fi, calls, and messages with custom styles. After generating a custom QR code, click ​“Get QR Code” to add it to your Figma designs.

Three primary updates: hide and show variable fills, duplicate and copy styles, and the go-to-main component shortcut (Control+Option+Command+K). See the complete list of quality-of-life updates in the release notes.
