Changelog

Recent notable changes to Builder Studio. Entries are grouped by date and cover shipped, user-facing behavior — the canvas, collaboration, and asset features you can use today.

May 2026

Realtime multiplayer on the canvas

Canvases are now genuinely collaborative in real time. When two or more members of a workspace open the same canvas, they share a live session rather than taking turns.

• Live presence and cursors. Each collaborator who is present shows a colored, named cursor that tracks their pointer across the canvas in real time.
• Ghost drag and resize.While someone drags or resizes nodes, the affected nodes move and resize live on every other collaborator's screen — a "ghost" of the in-flight gesture — instead of only jumping when the gesture is released.
• Presence and live gestures travel over a dedicated realtime lane, separate from the durable canvas data sync that persists committed changes. Read the full behavior in Multiplayer.

Parametric vector shapes

Shape nodes are now driven by parametric geometry rather than fixed bitmaps, so they stay crisp at any zoom and resize cleanly. The geometry builder covers rectangles, ellipses, triangles, lines, arrows, polygons, and stars. See Canvas nodes for how shapes sit alongside other nodes on the canvas.

Figma-grade image placement

Placing images on the canvas was reworked to behave the way designers expect.

• True-native sizing.Image nodes read the source's natural dimensions and aspect ratio before committing, then size the node to the real source pixels — scaling large images down rather than upscaling small ones.
• Place mode. Placement uses a loaded cursor so you can position and frame an image deliberately, with auto-framing from the source aspect ratio.
• The image node also gained a contextual action toolbar and a non-destructive crop overlay. See Image node.

Searchable asset descriptions

Assets can now carry a description, and those descriptions are indexed for full-text search across your whole asset corpus — so you can find an uploaded or generated asset by what it is, not just by its file name. A mutation to set an asset's description backs the new searchable metadata.

Earlier

Builder Studio is a custom canvas/editor — not react-flow or xyflow — for building and running workflow-style systems that combine text, media, webhook, and agent execution on a Convex-backed realtime backend.
