Here’s everything from Config India 2026
By Steven Van ·
Code layers, Specs and a Payload backend for Make arrive in beta, with several design system features still in closed beta or preview.
Figma launched a set of code, context and data features at Config India 2026, with availability that ranges from open beta to preview only.
Code and context
- Code layers: interactive, code-backed prototypes on the canvas. They can be made by converting a design frame, importing a GitHub repo, capturing a website with the Figma Chrome extension, or prompting from scratch. Open beta, and creating and editing within a code layer is free on paid plans through November 4.
- Specs: a native place to bring written intent, visual exploration and technical details together for teams and agents. Open beta on paid plans.
- Figma MCP: faster performance and support for more Figma products. It can create code layers, edit specs, or generate images on the canvas, and now supports 20 new partners. Available now.
Real data and content
Figma Make now natively scaffolds a Payload backend, giving an app a CMS, database, media, APIs, auth and an admin panel. Figma hosts it, so content and data sit alongside the designs that shape them. This is rolling out across all plans.
Design systems and the agent
- Code sources: import code from GitHub repositories or npm packages so the agent can build and edit components and code layers that reflect a real design system. Closed beta.
- Guidelines: added to published design libraries to help the agent follow established patterns and avoid anti-patterns. Open beta.
- Centralized design systems: bundle design libraries, code libraries and guidelines into one design system. Preview only.
Figma lists the full set of announcements in its Config India 2026 release notes, and a recap blog post covers them in more detail. Figma is the product behind all of these.
