# Edit updates, thumbnail previews, and more

By Steven Van · 2026-09-24

Midjourney adds live style previews in alpha, more precise inpainting and outpainting, and seamless tiling for V8.1/8.2.

Midjourney's [Midjourney](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/midjourney>) interface is testing fast models on alpha.midjourney.com. The Styles sidebar now has a "Live previews" toggle that shows what your latest prompt looks like across liked and featured styles, and clicking a thumbnail generates the image using that style.

The edit model's inpainting and outpainting have also improved: targeted edits now change only the pixels you've selected, giving more control and allowing repeated edits without degrading image quality. Separately, tile (--tile) works better on V8.1 and V8.2, with tiles now blending invisibly instead of showing seams.
