Design Mode: point at UI elements instead of describing them

Cursor added Design Mode to canvases, which lets you select and annotate UI elements directly to guide the agent’s edits — similar to giving feedback in a browser-based editor rather than translating everything into text. (cursor.com/changelog">https://cursor.com/changelog)

This is especially useful for UI-heavy work (layout tweaks, component spacing, chart formatting) where “change X to look like Y” is slower than pointing at the exact element.

Context usage explorer (as a canvas)

Cursor can now generate an interactive context usage report inside a canvas. It breaks down token usage across major buckets like the system prompt, tool definitions, rules, and skills, and because it’s a canvas you can ask follow-up questions to refine the report. (https://cursor.com/changelog)

Cursor also adds a “Debug with Agent” button to help identify opportunities to reduce context usage in a new conversation. (https://cursor.com/changelog)

Sharing + canvas quality-of-life improvements
