Figma Make is moving fast. After the arrival of plan mode, component kits and the GPT-5.6 model, here comes an update that tackles a very concrete problem: adjusting an AI-generated design without starting over with a prompt.
Until now, fixing spacing or typography in a Figma Make prototype often meant rephrasing a natural language request, with the risk of losing your train of thought or breaking something else along the way. The new editing panel changes that: welcome to direct control, the way you would expect from a classic design tool.
In practice, clicking on any element in a Make opens a properties panel. You can adjust spacing, typography and layout there, just like in Figma Design. Every change stacks up in the chat panel, so you can review each one before applying it for good.
It is a real bridge between two worlds: the precision of a traditional visual editor, and the speed of AI-driven generation.
The second major addition: annotations. The idea is simple but effective. Instead of describing your intent abstractly in a chat, you point directly to an area of the screen and write what you want changed there, for example "make this section calmer". The agent understands the visual context and applies the change exactly where you pointed.
This kind of interaction brings Figma Make closer to the logic of animation and micro-adjustments to interfaces usually found in more advanced design tools.
The update also adds the ability to switch between different device formats while editing. A real time-saver for checking that a layout holds up on mobile as well as desktop, without duplicating files or switching context.
Finally, the toolbar has been updated to put the Edit and Annotate functions right within reach as soon as you open the agent. A small detail, but one that reflects a clear intent: reducing the friction between intention and result.
| Feature | Before | With the update |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusting spacing | Rephrasing a text prompt | Direct click in the properties panel |
| Fixing a specific section | Describing the area in chat | Direct annotation on the screen |
| Checking responsiveness | Duplicating or switching files | One-click device frame switching |
| Access to tools | Navigating through menus | Edit and Annotate in the toolbar |
At Mazette.co, we use Figma every day, on Webflow projects as well as more in-depth product design phases. And for several months now, we have been watching a clear trend at Figma: bringing generative AI tools closer to traditional design habits. This editing panel is a perfect illustration of that.
Why is it a good idea? Because prompting alone has its limits. Asking an AI to "tighten up the header spacing a bit" rarely works on the first try. With direct control over properties, you get back the precision that design teams used to Figma Design or Webflow expect, without sacrificing the generation speed that makes Figma Make what it is.
As for annotations, we find them particularly relevant for client feedback sessions. Pointing to an area and writing down an intent is exactly the reflex we use in our own design review workshops. It avoids endless back-and-forth where the client describes a problem in words and the designer has to guess exactly what they mean.
Overall, this update confirms a clear trajectory: Figma Make no longer wants to be just a fast generation tool, but a genuine space for fine-tuned iteration, capable of rivaling professional design workflows.
One thing worth watching, though: the more manual editing options increase, the more you need to keep design system consistency in mind. Without discipline around tokens and components, you risk recreating the same drift you usually fix with quality control tools like Check designs. Worth keeping an eye on, but nothing that undermines the value of this update.
If your team works with Figma on a daily basis and is looking to streamline its design-to-development workflows, our Webflow expertise and our method rely on exactly this kind of tool to speed up production without losing quality. Feel free to contact us to talk about it.

The editing panel opens when you click on any generated element in Figma Make. It gives you access to precise settings like spacing, typography or layout, without going back through a text prompt. Every change shows up in the chat panel so you can review it before it is applied.
The editing panel lets you manually adjust an element's properties with precise control. Annotations, on the other hand, let you point to an area on the screen and describe your intent in natural language, like making a section feel calmer, and the agent applies the change right there.
No, that is exactly the point of this update. The editing panel and annotations let you tweak an AI-generated design directly on the canvas, without writing any code or rephrasing a complex prompt for every small fix.
