Disable AI sparkle icon/"Show Agents on canvas" setting has been removed

Hello, 

"Show Agents on canvas" setting has been removed. Could you please bring this setting back? Having the Agents panel permanently displayed on the canvas disrupts the workflow, and I need the option to hide it. Is there any particular reason you removed it? Are you forcing this on your users?

Hi everyone, just a quick update that our team is actively rolling out a fix for this.

As the rollout continues, please try refreshing or reloading Figma, as that may help once the update reaches your account.

Thanks for your patience while we work to get this resolved as quickly as possible 🙏

I don’t need AI features, but it keeps suggesting itself, right now there’s a new ⭐ icon next to anything I select, I keep accidentally hitting it, and it just opens a promotional pop-up for AI-agent that I CAN’T EVEN USE as it requires an upgrade. Other things include replacing text in my auto layouts and components.

I don’t need AI features and I don’t like them being pushed to us so aggressively. Is there a way to disable them? I have a starter plan and I’m  not a member of any team

Hey ​@Kateryna Gregor, thanks for flagging this. A few other designers raised the same concern and we have a fix. I'm merging your post into a thread where we're tracking this.

To hide the agent from your canvas: Figma menu (logo in upper left corner of your file) → Preferences → uncheck "Show Agents on canvas".
