A more consistent layout system across the app, a big batch of new shortcuts, auto-generated file thumbnails, and steadier concurrent AI generation.

Features

A new sidebar and panel system. A more consistent, flexible layout across the app.
Better AI generation animations. Clearer visuals while AI edits your canvas.
A library of new shortcuts. F2 or ⌘R to rename the selected layer from canvas, ⌘⇧A to select similar layers, ⌥/, ⇧/, ⇧X for quick fill and stroke, ⌃⌥H / ⌃⌥V / ⌃⌥T for distribute and tidy-up, and the reserved single-key tool slots (R, E, P) are now active.
Auto-generated file thumbnails. Leaving the canvas snapshots a thumbnail of your work, so the files list now shows the file you actually built.
World city file names. New files are named after world cities instead of the old random word combinations.
Rename layer in the frame context menu. Right-click any frame to rename without going through the layers panel.
Chat continue. Pick up where a previous reply left off, with the active thread title carried through the command.

Auto margin. Set margin: auto from the spacing controls, no manual values required.
Spacing input order fix. Top / Right / Bottom / Left, as expected.
Padding and position when toggling flex. Switching layout type now preserves padding and absolute positioning instead of resetting them.
Show frame size below the frame while resizing. Live measurements that follow the bottom of the frame as you drag.
Hide selection bounds while adjusting fill or stroke. The selection box gets out of the way when you are tweaking colors.
Replace background fills suggestion is suppressed. When the selection already matches the target color we hide the "replace fills" action.
Hug option no longer shown on frames with absolute children. It would not have worked, so we hide it.
More stable concurrent generations. Running multiple AI generations at once is smoother.

Connect flow redesign. A clearer setup experience.
Stopping generation actually stops everything. Deleting a chat, stopping a reply, or restarting a stopped reply now correctly halts the underlying tools and preserves history.
Better font fallback. AI-generated designs more consistently use supported fonts.
Rename elements quick action. One click to rename all selected layers in semantic, descriptive names.

Wrong font applied when picked from the search dropdown.
Upgrade modal rendering empty for new users on canvas after exhausting limits.
Pasted Figma layers now stay collapsed in the sidebar.
Middle-click on chat URLs now opens them in a new tab.
Sign-up and sign-in switching preserves the email and password you typed.
Fill width now reads 100% Fill correctly instead of 100 Fill.
New chat focuses the input on open.
Preview now updates on keyboard-arrow navigation between elements.
AI-generated artboards no longer resize to 2^18 width or height when payloads include percentage dimensions.
Pasting a copied flex layout node no longer sets a 2^18 size.
