AI agent is here! How do I remove it?

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?

    Hey ​@P_Justyna, Tom here — stepping in for ​@Gayani_S today.

    I wanted to check in with where things stand: There still isn't a way for an individual to hide or remove the Agents access point in the left nav. I don't have a timeline or a planned change to share on that, but we're continuing to track this feedback with the product team.

    For your question about workspaces: On Enterprise plans, org admins can turn AI features off by following these steps: Manage AI settings and content training for your team or organization → Adjust access to AI across Figma.

    I couldn’t agree more. And the implementation of the panel is just wasting valuable space. ​@jase_x - that was my first thought! Whyyyyyy.

      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.

      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.

                  This is fucking disgusting.
                  Figma, you know what you’re doing, turn it off.

                  Hi everyone, I've touched base with our engineering team and wanted to share an update on hiding the Figma agent on the canvas. Good news — they've rolled out a fix.

                  If you're looking to hide the Figma agent on the canvas, you can now turn off on-canvas prompting by going to the main menu in your file (the Figma icon in the upper left corner of the app) → Preferences → Show Agents on canvas, and turn it off by unchecking it.

                  Note: if you don't see the setting right away, a quick tab reload should pick it up. We'll continue monitoring closely for further reports. Thanks for your patience while we worked on a resolution.
