Check a small design handoff
Use one small screen and a written decision record. Check what arrives in the coding tool and whether rejected variants remain easy to find.
What you can do
- Follow the announcement’s walkthrough to inspect the canvas and coding-tool handoff. Open reference ↗
Where the evidence stops
The canvas and handoff were not exercised. The announcement does not establish faithful round-trip editing for every imported project.
Sources read. Public evidence checked October 18, 2026. The product, external code and reported outcomes were not independently executed.
