Yet another UI update that ruins the workspace.
Now a whole column width is reducing the workspace size, created to accommodate one AI agent button that I have no interest in using. You’ve moved the library and assets to a less usable place because you couldn’t figure out how to add the AI agent somewhere else?
How can I roll back this change to the version that actually worked?
Question
AI agent is here! How do I remove it?
You’ve replaced the Assets button with another ‘A’ - Agents
Replaced the Assets + icon I’m used to with another + icon.
WHY!?!?! Does nobody at Figma actually use Figma?
Every time I go to click assets, I now hit Agents by mistake. The UX decisions on this product are so bad every time something new is added it completely disrupts everyone’s everyday workflows.
Could have easily just put Agents after Variables and not make everyone have to relearn their muscle memory.
In addition, the little “agents” icon to the right of anything you have selected—this is so frustrating. It gets in the way of things I actually want to click. I suspect this should be its own topic but regardless, I find it so annoying and I have to click to deselect whatever I’m working on, then click to select the item to its immediate right that the ‘agents’ button was concealing.
Hey
The new Agents panel in the left navigation is part of a recent update to Figma Design, and right now there isn't a way for individual users to hide or remove it. We know that's not the answer you were hoping for.
Your feedback about the impact on assets and library placement is genuinely useful, and I'll make sure it gets to the team.
If you'd like to explore further options based on your plan, I'd recommend reaching out to us directly through Figma Support so we can look at what's available for your specific setup.
In the meantime, you can find more about the Figma agent in our Help Center.
We know that's not the answer you were hoping for.
That is an understatement.
It’s gross that you’re forcing this feature on your users. I didn’t have an option whether or not to install this update, it was either do it now or do it the next time you restart the app. No skip this version option was present.
Moving existing functionality screws up people’s muscular memory and messes up their flow, not a great move. Any metrics you try to take about people “exploring the new feature” will need to reflect people are clicking on it without meaning to, getting frustrated, and backing out.
This update is genuinely so frustrating. It is constantly in the way and not something I think the majority of users want or need. There are enough software products with unwanted AI and AI agents out there. Not having to deal with constant pop-ups was one of the best things about using Figma. If you’re going to continue with the AI agents, it should be completely optional. I would not have updated my software if I had known I was going to be dealing with the agent feature all day. I will 100% be switching platforms if not given the option to turn off the agents ASAP.

After writing this I found other topics that were raised about this months ago. You’ve known about this issue since the beginning of 2026 and you’ve done nothing but spread it out to more and more users knowing that it’s a problem, without adding any way for people to remove it.
People have already told you that the assets and library placement has actively made the whole UI much worse and that the reduced workspace size damages their ability to work.
Figma as a company has the benefit of the whole of it’s user base being UX/UI designers, and instead of actually implementing changes with feature flippers and feedback tools where you can gather incredibly useful insights and suggestions, you just wholesale launch terrible changes that make things worse and ignore what your users tell you. As a business that has to be one of the most surefire ways to alienate your users and encourage competitors to come and replace you.

For real. How many subscriptions has Adobe bled because of the ham fisted way they rolled out AI functionality that people actively told them they did not want.
I was having dinner with my brother and his family the other night. While cleaning up, my 3-year-old niece was adamant she help. I reluctantly agreed and asked her to put the salad dressing in the fridge. She disappeared for 5 minutes and came back without the salad dressing. I asked her where she put it, she said “I dunno”. An hour later the jar of salad dressing was found smashed open in the bathtub. When asked why she did that, she replied “I dunno”. Recognizing she did wrong, she attempted to mop it up using a clean bath robe, smearing it all over the place before we could stop her.
...If anyone is curious what its like trying to utilize this AI agent in a professional setting.
100% agreed to this! I did not ask for this feature, nor needed it. Now there's always a small button on all selection boxes and I misclick them all the time.
Might I suggest
I couldn’t agree more. And the implementation of the panel is just wasting valuable space.

Whilst it’s impossible to get rid of the stupid sidebar, if anyone wants to at least remove the thing from INVADING the canvas you can go to any design file, press [Figma Button] > Preferences > Uncheck “Show Agents on Canvas”.
I’ve clicked this thing more times than a cookie pop up, so frustrating.
Yeah, the implementation is really bad - constantly getting in the way of me clicking into components etc… I’m not sure what it does but I’m not going to use it.
I also just noticed the ‘updated library’ button has been pushed right to the bottom too. I spent a good few minutes wondering why the update button hadn’t appeared when I was trying to push changes. Another stellar AI update.
I agree. The floating Agents icon frequently covers nearby elements, and I often end up opening Agents instead of selecting the component I actually want to work with.
This is especially frustrating when working with tightly spaced UI elements, where precision matters. It would be great to have an option to disable or reposition this button.

They have removed the “Show Agents on Canvas” option. Now i can’t even remove it on canvas and constantly mis-click it.
Seriously, figma team, if your customer base are hardworking people who wants to express their creativity on their own. Why don’t you stop shoving this down onto everyone’s throat.
This is a disgusting approach. U guys are acting like microsl0p.
Did everybody turn it off so they forced it on?? I’m scared to update now.
I did realise that you can get the same effect by turning it off, selecting a frame and then clicking the agents button. So if you do want to use it but don’t want the irritating UI glyph, you can still access the agent without turning it back on.
I couldnt find any option to disable AI agents, are you guys actually forcing it on us?
This is fucking disgusting.
Figma, you know what you’re doing, turn it off.
