Config 2026 marks a significant evolution in design workflows by integrating code, AI-driven motion, and custom tools directly into the Figma canvas. The platform now treats code as a primary design material, enabling users to build, iterate, and collaborate on functional prototypes alongside static designs. Key updates include CodeLayers for spatial code exploration, Weave workflows for AI-powered creative tasks, and generative plugins that allow users to build custom tools without writing code. Furthermore, Figma Motion introduces a timeline-based animation system supporting keyframes, easing controls, and 3D transforms, all fully compatible with existing design systems. These advancements remove the traditional barriers between design and implementation, empowering creators to develop complex, interactive experiences and highly specific workflows within a single, unified environment.
