When design systems police themselves

Design system enforcement arrives in one click

The biggest story this week is Figma's Check designs, a feature that compares your work against your design system and flags mismatches — then suggests the correct component or token. For teams that have invested in a design system but still see drift in production, this closes the gap between "we have a system" and "everything uses it." It's a single-click correction, not a report to triage.

Figma also shipped several updates to its Make offering. Planning context and momentum features give builders more grounding — you can now set milestones and see velocity indicators inside the tool. Separately, the Professional plan now supports pay-as-you-go AI credits, letting teams scale usage without upgrading tiers. A minor bug-fix release (26.20.0) rounds out the week.

Linear turns teams into knowledge bases

Linear's team documents give each team a permanent page for notes, docs, and shared references — separate from issues, projects, or initiatives. The effect is subtle but important: institutional knowledge that used to live in a dozen places now has a single, organized home tied to the team itself. Alongside that, agent skills can now be shared across a team, standardizing recurring workflows so everyone's automation starts from the same template. And description comments let you annotate images or text directly inside an issue description, not just in replies. The release also fixes dozens of bugs across Slack integration, diffs, GitHub sync, and sidebar behavior. A minor mobile update (1.75.0) addressed bugs only.

Smaller updates across the board

Notion patched bugs and performance in 1.7.311 and the prior 1.7.310 — both routine maintenance. Slack's 26.06.10 contained only bug fixes, and Discord's June 4 patch notes documented a similar round of reliability and usability improvements with no headline features.
