Cursor· Updated
Cursor has updated its canvases feature, allowing users to publish and share AI-generated interactive applications like dashboards and internal tools via URL. This release also introduces a Design Mode for direct UI editing and an interactive report to visualize agent context usage. The enhancements aim to make AI-driven application development more collaborative, transparent, and iterative for teams.
Cursor has enabled publishing and sharing for its canvases, which are interactive artifacts like dashboards and reports. Users can now share these with teams via URL. A new Design Mode allows selecting UI elements to guide edits, while an interactive report visualizes context usage across prompts and skills.

Users can also ask follow-up questions to identify ways to reduce context usage.
Users can now publish canvases and share them with team members via URL for collaborative review. Design Mode offers a visual way to guide UI edits by pointing to specific elements. Furthermore, the context usage report helps identify ways to reduce token consumption, and agents can now embed buttons to run specific prompts.
Still wondering? A few quick answers below.
Cursor canvases are interactive applications like dashboards, reports, and internal tools that AI agents can create. They provide a dynamic way to visualize and interact with AI-generated content, moving beyond static text responses.
Design Mode allows users to directly select and annotate UI elements within a canvas. Instead of describing changes in text, users can point to specific parts of the interface, provide feedback, and guide Cursor's AI agent to make edits more quickly and intuitively.
The context usage report is an interactive feature within a canvas that shows how an AI agent is consuming tokens. It breaks down where tokens are allocated across elements like the system prompt, tool definitions, rules, and skills, helping users understand and optimize agent behavior.
You can now publish a canvas and share it with your team by providing them with a unique URL. Shared canvases can be opened full-screen in a browser, making them easier to present and review collaboratively.
