Please add a setting to disable or hide the blue Agent sparkle that appears on every selection.

For users who do not use Figma Agent features as part of their workflow, this becomes a permanent piece of interface noise that provides no value while drawing attention away from the task at hand.

Giving users the option to hide Agent-related affordances would create a cleaner, more focused experience without impacting those who choose to use them.

    Hey ​@IanB, thanks for reaching out!

    Good news, there's actually a setting for this already. You can turn off the Agent sparkle by going to the View menu in Figma Design and toggling off "Show Agents on canvas." That should give you a cleaner canvas without the sparkle appearing on selections.

    You can also adjust this in your user preferences if you'd prefer to manage it from there.

    Let me know if that works you, happy to help if you run into anything else!

    Is this available to all users? I’m running the latest build and I don’t see this option in View or Preferences.

    Hi ​@mr_saturn, ​@Levi Heo — Celyn here stepping in for ​@Gayani_S.

    Thanks for the additional details. Just to clarify, are you both not seeing the "Show Agents on canvas" setting anywhere in Preferences on your end?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    If so, could you share a screenshot of what you're seeing and we'll take a closer look from there. Thanks!

    Hi ​@Celyn_L ,

    I checked again after looking at the image you attached. And I discovered a strange situation.

    The attached image shows the situation when I created new design files several times.

    All conditions are the same; I created a new file and immediately checked the preference menu.

    Every time I created a new design file, the items appearing in the preferences varied slightly. I don't know why.🙄

    ​@Celyn_L , This is other case...

    I tried Figma > Check for updates > Reload All Tabs and it works. 

    but, if I close the refreshed tab and reopen it, "Show Agents on canvas" is not visible again.

    Glad to hear that, ​@mr_saturn!

     

    Thanks for the tag, ​@Levi Heo. That’s pretty weird! Are all the files you’ve created in the same project and team? I don’t know if that would matter, but just for clarity’s sake it would be good to know. With the files you created new, did you take any action in any of them before checking the menu? Oh, one other question: if you re-open any of these new files, does it now show the menu option?

    Hello, I’m all working on the same team and project. I created a new design file (Cmd+N) and immediately checked the preferences. I didn't take any additional actions.

    That menu still appears and disappears randomly. It's possible my Mac is acting strangely. but, I didn't see that menu on my other MacBook either.

     

    anyway...I had already disabled it when the menu was visible, so it doesn't matter now whether the menu is visible in the preferences or not. but, it is really strange 🤣.

    Thank you ​@adamsmasher !
