Figma Make gained a dedicated editing panel on 30 July 2026, so designers can adjust agent-built work directly instead of re-prompting the chat.
Direct control replaces guess-and-prompt
On 30 July 2026, Figma confirmed a new editing panel in Figma Make, its AI build tool, on the company's own Figma release notes page. Until now, steering an agent-built design meant typing instructions into a chat and hoping the result landed. The panel changes that.
Designers get granular control over spacing, type and layout, and can shape a layout by hand. Edits stack in the chat panel for review, so nothing applies until you approve it. There is also an annotate-to-the-agent flow: mark a spot on the design, describe what you want in plain terms (for example, "make this section feel calmer"), and the agent implements the change. As you work, you can switch device frames to check the design across screen sizes. Figma also repositioned the Edit and Annotate to the agent controls in the toolbar for quicker access.
The release note gives no separate version number and states no staged rollout window, so treat 30 July 2026 as the date the feature landed.
What it means if you build in Figma
The practical gain is control over the last stretch of a design, the part where "close enough" from an AI draft still needs a human eye. Chat prompting is quick for a first pass but clumsy when you want one section tighter or one type size down. Direct editing, with changes queued for review, makes that finishing work faster and less of a gamble.
For a firm having a site or product built, this is a workflow improvement inside the design tool, not a change to how you get found in search. It is worth knowing if your team or your agency works in Figma, because it shortens the path from a rough agent draft to something you would actually ship. If you do not touch Figma directly, there is nothing to act on: it simply means the people building your work have a steadier hand on the output.
Frequently asked questions
What actually changed in Figma Make?
Figma added an editing panel that lets designers directly adjust spacing, type and layout in agent-built designs, review edits before they apply, annotate the design to tell the agent what to change, and switch device frames while editing. It was confirmed on Figma's release notes and dated 30 July 2026.
Do I need to do anything?
No. If you or your agency use Figma Make, the controls are already there in the toolbar. If you do not use Figma, this does not affect you.
Does this change whether my firm gets found in search?
No. This is a design-and-build workflow update inside Figma, not a search or ranking change. It affects how designs get made, not how they get discovered.
Is the editing panel available now?
Figma dated the release note 30 July 2026 and stated no staged rollout window, so treat it as live from that date.
What is the "annotate to the agent" flow?
It lets you mark a spot on the design and describe your intent in plain words, such as asking for a section to feel calmer, and the agent makes the change for you rather than you editing every detail by hand.
