| 2026-11-01 | patch | M3: Delete on a layer inside an instance hides it (an override) instead of being refused ("You can't delete a layer or object from an instance. If you try, Figma will only toggle the layer's visibility instead of removing it", Guide to auto layout); `edit.delete` reports those ids under `hidden`, the structure and the main component stay as they were, one undo step; deleting the instance itself still removes it. Found by a documentation audit of the auto layout page.

| 2026-10-31 | minor | M3, gap 10: library analytics cover styles and variables.

| 2026-10-31 | minor | M3, gap 10: library analytics over time. A file counts the instances of library components it inserts (placed, created, pasted or duplicated, Alt-dragged copies too; not those nested in another instance) and reports them like its detaches (`ReportInserted`). The server counts what a file's insertion and detach totals grow past their highest in the current week, a Monday at 00:00 UTC, so an undo and a redo count once, and keeps a year of weeks in `actions.json` (`Actions`). `library.usage {days?}` adds `insertions`, `detachments` and `weeks`, and per component `insertions` and `detachments`; Show usage has a 30 days, 90 days or 1 year choice, the period's totals, and each component's counts on a line of their own. The new variants are appended, so older messages keep their bytes; an older server refuses them and Show usage says it doesn't count insertions. A file's first report after this counts its total in that week. Tests: `library_actions_tests`, `inserting_library_instances_counts_them`. Grade unchanged |
| 2026-10-30 | minor | M3, gap 14: a collection of this file can be extended, as the help center shows (right-click a collection, Extend collection); before, only a library's could. `variable.extendCollection {collection, name?}` makes "<name> (extended)" with its modes and one inheriting variable per variable, and the Variables editor's collection menu offers it beside Rename and Delete collection. Edits of the collection it extends reach it at once (values in modes it doesn't override, new variables and modes, renames, mode order), so normalising keeps extensions in step whenever variables change, not only on library updates; undo takes both back. An extended collection extends again (parents settle first; an extension doesn't take its parent's overrides as its own), and a loop of extensions from a hostile file comes apart into plain collections keeping their values. Deleting the parent leaves a plain collection with the values it showed, as for libraries. Tests: `extended_chain_tests` (engine), `variables_rename_tests::a_collection_of_this_file_extends_from_its_context_menu` (headless UI). Grade unchanged |
| 2026-10-30 | minor | Library analytics count detaches: a file that detaches an instance of a library component counts it (kept with the file) and its app reports the counts to the library's server beside its usage; **Show usage** and `library.usage` list them per component and per file (`detached`, `detachesKnown`). Older servers and apps are unaffected: the reports are new messages and the old ones keep their encoding. Still nothing over time. Numbers unchanged |

# Feature naming
FigCraft describes itself as an **interface design tool**, without the comparative Figma-class tag. Interface-size command help describes the size steps directly. Command IDs, file-format interoperability references, behavioral documentation and attribution remain unchanged.
Regression tests prevent the retired comparative display phrases from returning to MCP instructions or command help. This copy change makes no legal claim about the comparative terms and does not change behavior.
## Developer Mode
**Old label:** "Dev Mode". **New label:** "Developer Mode", since #2135.
Figma holds a US registration for DEV MODE ([US 7574348](https://tsdr.uspto.gov/statusview/sn98045640), registered 2024-11-19, owner Figma, Inc.), so neither a label nor a translation calls the mode by the old name. The identifiers keep their names (`view.devMode`, `devMode.*`), and so do the preference keys and saved document fields; the Actions palette still finds the command by the old name. Some translations had a generic "dev mode" where the proper name belongs (French "Mode Dev", Portuguese "Modo Dev", Dutch "Dev Mode"); they now read "Mode développeur", "Modo do desenvolvedor" and "Ontwikkelaarsmodus", so every language names the mode the same way. `crates/ui-egui/src/naming_tests.rs` keeps the retired name out of the labels and the catalogs.

a FigJam elbow connector saved with its path (`connectorControlPoints`) keeps it on import, as a board connector reshaped by hand does, instead of being routed again (#1910); JPG exports take a quality, 1 to 100 with 90 the default, and embed the file's colour profile when it is sRGB too (#2004); a FigJam connector without a saved snapshot took no stroke and was invisible; its line's paint, weight, cap and dashes now come from the file's generated line record (#1807); a Dash cap setting (none, round or square) on Dash and Custom strokes, drawn on both ends of every dash; pasted layers whose image the clipboard lacks are named and show a placeholder that reads as missing (#1646); paint-style colours on layers pasted from another design app keep their style instead of turning black (#1638); imported and pasted text finds an installed family under the other names its fonts give it, and with other case and spacing (#1292); `.fig` export writes colour calculations as the colour they show in each mode and leaves out, with a warning, one that resolves to nothing (#1280); `.fig` import budgets four decoded values per compressed byte instead of one, still within 20M–128M, so dense files within that budget open instead of being refused as having too many values (#574); `.fig` ZIP image reads share a total byte budget and count skipped images in the import warnings (#1076); every file a command reads whole by path is a regular file within a cap that fits it: documents 16 GiB, placed images 256 MiB, CLI scripts 1 GiB; folders, devices and pipes are refused before anything is read (#1114); files nested 256 levels deep import on the browser's 1 MB stack (#1101); SVG and PDF exports count pattern sources and the renders they embed from the layer's depth, so one cap bounds a whole export (#1082); opening a `.figcraft` file unpacks at most 6 GiB in all (2 GiB in the browser), every area together (#1079); `.fig` instance expansion no longer walks variable nodes for every instance or copies every outer override row into each nested instance (#1077); a FigJam `.jam` file opens as a board (#1342); FigJam `.jam` files open like `.fig` files: File ▸ Open, drag and drop, `file.import` and the command line (#1342); SVG import reads `color()` and `color-mix()` colours, with a note and a grey for those it can't (#1550); SVG import draws each pattern tile once per scale, within the layer budget (#1080); a file's JPEG thumbnail can't crash the home screen (#1491's progressive JPEG check, now shared); `.fig` import: library text styles linked by asset key, and override rows restating a nested level (#1234);

| 2026-11-08 | minor | M6, #2097 follow-up: per-point vector corner radii take the scale of the row supplying `vectorData`, including nested instance rows; override and derived rows are not scaled twice. Network caching distinguishes the instance scale even when resizing gives two vectors the same final box. Synthetic tests cover missing/unit factors, half/double scale, derived size alone, overridden and derived vector data, nested scale and equal-size cache separation. Layer-radius fallback remains the separate #2115 change. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-11-08 | patch | #2097 / #2100: scaled-instance lengths reset to the unscaled main value survive export/import as explicit overrides. Dimensionless values and zero do not gain scale overrides. Exported factors stay within the importer's 0.001–1000 range; larger or smaller ratios use explicit values instead. Effect/grid payload rows above an inherited style link take precedence at their own scale, including nested instances and empty-list clears, without detaching styles. Synthetic regressions cover corners, dashes/shadows, layout/grids and bounds, typography and styled runs, linked text and nested styles. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-11-07 | minor | `.fig` import, #2091 item 1: an instance scaled with the Scale tool stores `symbolData.uniformScaleFactor`, which the import never read, so the layers of a 128 px instance of a 256 px component came in at 256 px with the main's radii, strokes and spacing. The layers of an instance now take the main's lengths times the factor (composed through nested instances, so 0.5 inside 0.5 is 0.25 for the inner layers), the lengths the Scale tool scales: sizes and places, corner radii, stroke weights and dashes, effect radii, spreads and offsets, auto layout gaps and paddings, grid gaps, min and max sizes, layout grids, font sizes, pixel line heights and letter spacings, paragraph spacing and indent. A value an override or derived row gives is taken as written, already at the instance's scale; the instance's own size is the file's; a missing, non-finite, non-positive or out-of-range factor (outside 0.001 to 1000) changes nothing. Not scaled: vector outline paths (a network's points follow the layer's size), per-point corner radii, fixed grid tracks, image tile scales and glass effects. Tests: `fig::tests::a_scaled_instance_draws_its_layers_at_the_factor` and `fig::scale_factor_tests`. Numbers unchanged |
| 2026-11-03 | patch | M6, #1909: `.jam` import: a connector end whose magnet is `AUTO` (FigJam picks the side when it draws) or `CENTER` (the end aims at the layer's middle) left the side its stale `relativePosition` named, the left one in the reporter's file, so the connectors looped behind their shape or crossed it. It now leaves the side facing the other end, as a board connector drawn here does (`Side::Auto`), for straight, elbowed and curved connectors alike; a named magnet (`TOP`, `RIGHT`, `BOTTOM`, `LEFT`) is unchanged, and an end without a magnet still takes the edge its point lies on. The Plugin API lists the magnets (`ConnectorEndpoint.magnet`: "Which side of the node it attaches to"; NONE, AUTO, TOP, LEFT, BOTTOM, RIGHT, CENTER; "Straight connectors may use only CENTER or NONE magnets").

FigJam stores `connectorControlPoints`, one per run between the first and the last, each a point on its run (in the connector's parent's coordinates) with the run's axis; the first run leaves the start's side and the last arrives at the end's. They become the `ConnectorPath::Runs` a board connector reshaped by hand has (`figcraft_doc::route_along`), so a connector drawn around a layer in FigJam stays around it instead of being routed through it. Points that don't make such a path (off both axes, two runs in a row the same way, a first or last run sideways to its side or going back into its object, more runs than a hand could make) leave the connector to the router as before, and only connectors routed here count in the "follow FigCraft's own routing" note. A curved connector's `connectorBezierControlPoints` are still not read. Tests: `tail_tests::an_elbow_connector_saved_with_its_path_keeps_it`, `tail_tests::an_elbow_whose_saved_path_doesnt_fit_its_sides_is_routed_here`. |

the left rail's and tab strip's icons are larger, 20 pt (#553); pick select: Tab while the keyboard selection box shows (or the chord again) puts a pink outline on a layer and the keys walk the layer tree from it, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1836); scrubbing a field faster or slower by the pointer's height, with a notice of the speed, as the help center's Scrub fields says (#1837); component rows in the Layers panel at AA contrast in the theme's component tint, with the rows inside a selected component in a tone of its row (#1903); Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field sets all four sides with the value typed, a documented auto layout shortcut; a fill per region of a vector: with regions selected in edit mode, the Fill section and the fill commands edit those regions' own fills, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); the Fill section of a text whose characters were coloured differently while editing shows mixed content, characters that all share fills the layer doesn't have show those, and a layer-level fill edit reaches every character (#1856); a number field scrubs when dragged with Alt held, as the help center's scrub section says, not only by its label; reuse visible layer selection roots (M8); ; with a shape or frame tool chosen and nothing selected, the arrows show a placement crosshair in the middle of the view and move it, and Enter places there, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1839); text direction per paragraph: Text ▸ Text direction forces a paragraph left to right or right to left, as Add right-to-left text says (#1830), with `text.direction`, `node.set textDirection`, the Type settings control once a right-to-left script is in the text, inspect, the CSS `direction` and the `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality`; the boolean operation menu in the Design panel leads each entry with an original icon drawn in code, a filled preview of the result (#2003); a press on the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas keeps the colour picker open through the drag, as its own control (#1852); a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point curves it, its handles along the line between its neighbours, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); wrap style: Auto, Balance and Pretty on a text layer decide where its lines break, as Explore text properties says (#1827), with the Type settings control, `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle`, inspect and the CSS `text-wrap`; Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item keeps the item's indentation level, as the lists article says; max lines on auto-width text keep it auto width, hugging that many lines, as the text properties article says; superscript and subscript are synthesised where the font has no glyphs for them, from the standard glyphs shrunk and shifted by the font's OS/2 metrics, and a run mixing available and unavailable glyphs is synthesised whole, as Explore text properties says (#1828); Alt+Enter while editing text opens the link at the caret, as the accessibility page documents; Minimize, by its shortcut or the button by the file name, collapses the navigation bar and both sidebars as the help center says, with the right sidebar back while something is selected (#1835); the interface size keys of the help center's accessibility page: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Alt with =, - and 0 step the interface through the Preferences sizes and back to the system's size; Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+arrows rotate the selection a degree at a time, 15 with Shift, as the help center's accessibility page says; they resized before; the Layers panel answers Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux, the two keys the help center gives it; the colour picker's Image tab shows a placeholder and Upload from computer, an asset preview, and a file dropped on it replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop and position (#1682);

the main menu and its submenus stay inside the window, moving up to fit and scrolling when taller (#2217); the left rail's and tab strip's icons are larger, 20 pt (#553); pick select: Tab while the keyboard selection box shows (or the chord again) puts a pink outline on a layer and the keys walk the layer tree from it, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1836); scrubbing a field faster or slower by the pointer's height, with a notice of the speed, as the help center's Scrub fields says (#1837); component rows in the Layers panel at AA contrast in the theme's component tint, with the rows inside a selected component in a tone of its row (#1903); Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field sets all four sides with the value typed, a documented auto layout shortcut; a fill per region of a vector: with regions selected in edit mode, the Fill section and the fill commands edit those regions' own fills, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); the Fill section of a text whose characters were coloured differently while editing shows mixed content, characters that all share fills the layer doesn't have show those, and a layer-level fill edit reaches every character (#1856); a number field scrubs when dragged with Alt held, as the help center's scrub section says, not only by its label; reuse visible layer selection roots (M8); ; with a shape or frame tool chosen and nothing selected, the arrows show a placement crosshair in the middle of the view and move it, and Enter places there, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1839); text direction per paragraph: Text ▸ Text direction forces a paragraph left to right or right to left, as Add right-to-left text says (#1830), with `text.direction`, `node.set textDirection`, the Type settings control once a right-to-left script is in the text, inspect, the CSS `direction` and the `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality`; the boolean operation menu in the Design panel leads each entry with an original icon drawn in code, a filled preview of the result (#2003); a press on the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas keeps the colour picker open through the drag, as its own control (#1852); a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point curves it, its handles along the line between its neighbours, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); wrap style: Auto, Balance and Pretty on a text layer decide where its lines break, as Explore text properties says (#1827), with the Type settings control, `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle`, inspect and the CSS `text-wrap`; Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item keeps the item's indentation level, as the lists article says; max lines on auto-width text keep it auto width, hugging that many lines, as the text properties article says; superscript and subscript are synthesised where the font has no glyphs for them, from the standard glyphs shrunk and shifted by the font's OS/2 metrics, and a run mixing available and unavailable glyphs is synthesised whole, as Explore text properties says (#1828); Alt+Enter while editing text opens the link at the caret, as the accessibility page documents; Minimize, by its shortcut or the button by the file name, collapses the navigation bar and both sidebars as the help center says, with the right sidebar back while something is selected (#1835); the interface size keys of the help center's accessibility page: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Alt with =, - and 0 step the interface through the Preferences sizes and back to the system's size; Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+arrows rotate the selection a degree at a time, 15 with Shift, as the help center's accessibility page says; they resized before; the Layers panel answers Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux, the two keys the help center gives it; the colour picker's Image tab shows a placeholder and Upload from computer, an asset preview, and a file dropped on it replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop and position (#1682); the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does; the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift makes a colour style or variable of what it picks; sidebar number and text fields keep their text vertically centered when focused, including typography spacing;

| 2026-11-10 | patch | #2217: the main menu's submenus (Object, say) ran past the window's bottom, behind the taskbar, with the lowest commands out of reach, because submenus were not constrained to the window (to keep them beside their row). Every menu panel now scrolls when taller than the window less 8 pt margins, and a submenu is held within the window's height (moved up, never above the top) while keeping its place beside its row, so menu-aim is unchanged. Tests: `menu_overflow_tests.rs`. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | Shortcuts: a Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field (the horizontal or vertical pair, or a side with Individual padding open) makes the value typed go to all four sides, in one undo step (Guide to auto layout, Keyboard shortcut guide); a plain click still edits that axis or side alone. A documented gesture row: 134 documented, 133 bound. Test: `padding_individual_tests` |
| 2026-11-01 | patch | Number fields: dragging the field itself with Alt held scrubs it ("You can also hover the input field itself and hold down the modifier key: Mac: ⌥ Option Windows: Alt", Adjust alignment, rotation, position, and dimensions), with the resize cursor and the label's rates (Alt is the enabler there, so it isn't the fine rate); a click with Alt doesn't open the editor. Found by a documentation audit of the ui-parity rows. Test: `field_tests::alt_held_over_a_field_scrubs_it`. Counts unchanged |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | M6, #1839: with a shape or frame tool chosen and nothing selected, the arrows show a placement crosshair in the middle of the view and move it by the nudge amounts (`tool.crosshair`), Enter places the object there (`tool.place`), Escape or a tool change takes it away; the canvas draws the crosshair and `ui.inspect` reports it (`tool.crosshair`), the Keyboard shortcuts panel lists the gesture ("Use the arrow keys to activate the crosshair cursor...", Accessibility at Figma). The board Shapes tool places on it too (its 160 px shape centred, as the tool centres a press), and the view pans by the overshoot when the crosshair is nudged past its edge.

| 2026-11-05 | patch | M1, #1758: a mouse's side buttons (4 and 5) pan the canvas as the middle button does, the pan ending on release over the canvas or off it; the grab cursor shows while they're held. |
| 2026-11-04 | patch | M1, #1852: a press on one of the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas is the colour picker's own, not a press outside it (Figma keeps the picker and the handles up while a handle or stop is dragged; the stops are made to be dragged: "You can click and drag a stop to change its placement on the gradient", Use gradients as a fill or stroke). The canvas took the press and began the drag, then the picker, drawn later in the same frame, saw a press outside its card and closed, committing the drag's interaction at once; the handles vanished with it and the drag went on without an undo step of its own. Now the picker stays while a gradient handle or stop drags, and the drag is one undo step; a press elsewhere on the canvas still closes it. A handle drag whose button goes up off the canvas (over a panel or the picker) ends there too, instead of waiting, uncommitted, to move the handle to the next press on the canvas.

Between a handle's end and a point both within reach of the pointer, the nearer one on the page is hit (the handle on a tie), so a short path's point (its handles a few pixels long) can be clicked again. Before, only a drag curved a point, and a short one left two tiny handles in its direction.
