Figma 2026.2 adds live AI coediting, vector-aware inpainting, and component lineage

Figma rolled out its 2026.2 release that puts AI deeper into the design surface. The new live AI coediting feature lets teams spawn an assistant that suggests component variations, microcopy, and layout changes while collaborators watch and accept or reject edits in real time.

A standout addition is vector-aware inpainting: designers can erase or replace parts of vector shapes and ask Figma to regenerate artwork that respects paths, anchors, and constraints rather than rasterizing edits. That keeps designs resolution-independent and easier to hand off to engineering.

Finally, component lineage tracks how a component variant was generated — whether by a designer, an AI suggestion, or an import — making it easier for teams to trace the origin of decisions. Figma says the update is rolling out gradually and will include enterprise governance controls for AI outputs.
