# Figma can bring coded screens back onto the canvas

By Steven Van · 2026-07-16

Rebuilt or legacy screens return to Figma's canvas with their variables intact, so teams can refine rather than recreate them.

[Figma](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/figma>) can now bring coded or legacy screens back onto the canvas with their variables attached, instead of rebuilding them from scratch. As described in the [release notes](<https://www.figma.com/release-notes/?title=bring-code-backed-screens-onto-the-canvas-with-variables-attached>), the aim is to spend time refining the work rather than recreating it.
