Microsoft updates Designer with collaborative model sessions and slide-to-UI conversion

Tech · 4 min read

The collaborative model sessions let multiple users steer a shared prompt, voting on candidate outputs and chaining edits in a session history. This approach reduces single-author bias and helps teams converge on a unified design direction while keeping a clear audit trail of decisions.

The slide-to-UI converter extracts layout, hierarchy, and copy from presentation frames and maps them to interactive UI components that can be previewed and edited. Designers can export resulting prototypes as web previews or storyboards for developer handoff.

Microsoft emphasized integration with Teams for synchronous co-creation and with its code generation tools for quicker front-end scaffolding. Enterprises will appreciate tenant-level controls to manage model access and auditing of collaborative sessions.
