[Designs on the Figma Design canvas can now be connected directly to Weave workflows](/release/rel_3ycvCS1cdhZVn2HXedj80-figma-weave-workflows-now-connect-to-designs-on-the-figma-design-canvas), which means the artifacts you already made in Figma no longer sit apart from the automations you build around them — a workflow can now read from and act on live canvas designs rather than a detached copy. That pairing lands alongside [the ability to publish custom Weave tools to the Figma Community](/release/rel_ZrCEvKhWzqHsUWp6mMbKf-figma-lets-you-publish-custom-weave-tools-to-the-figma-community). Builders can now package the tools they make and share them so anyone can run them directly on the canvas in Figma Design. Together these two changes mark a shift: Weave is moving from a private sandbox toward an ecosystem where tools are authored, distributed, and applied in place. If you build internal design tooling, this is the week the distribution problem got an answer. Smaller but welcome: [folders now show previews of their contents](/release/rel_7bsv5Sztu0fQyZMRw5rx1-figma-folders-now-show-previews-to-make-them-easier-to-tell-apart), which finally makes visually similar folders distinguishable at a glance. Routine maintenance in [Figma 26.35.0](/release/rel_ItbwxyowWja6Agesuit16-figma-26-35-0-dependency-and-maintenance-release) rounds out the week. ### Linear's Loops take on coordination work Linear pushed its [Loops forward on three fronts](/release/rel_RTvgf7Ng_DxSaNsB3aEkU-linear-expands-loops-with-workspace-triggers-document-editing-and-slack-updates): they now respond to initiative, project, cycle, and issue changes; they can edit Linear documents; and they can draft and post Slack updates. The framing Linear offers is the right one — the hard part of a plan change isn't the change, it's the follow-through. Updating docs, filing issues, and telling everyone is exactly the toil that falls through the cracks. Because Loops trigger on workspace activity rather than only on a schedule or manual nudge, they're now positioned as the connective tissue between planning and communication. Teams already leaning on Linear for project state get a credible path to having their docs and Slack channels stay in sync automatically. The [callout components for issue and project descriptions](/release/rel_RTvgf7Ng_DxSaNsB3aEkU-linear-expands-loops-with-workspace-triggers-document-editing-and-slack-updates) and extended introductory credits through December 31 sweeten the deal for anyone on the fence about trying them. ### The quiet week elsewhere Not much to report beyond maintenance. Slack's [26.09.30 release](/release/rel_oIzQimKMGYM36RLSrykEZ-slack-26-09-30) admits as much with a charming non-answer about paddling beneath the surface, and Notion shipped a trio of low-key updates — [1.7.337](/release/rel_1OYjGijfzHSrn5Pg3DGr8-notion-1-7-337-internal-release), [1.7.338](/release/rel_N6Mw3sZ-qN3nwWRMU-w6N-notion-1-7-338-dependency-update), and [1.7.339](/release/rel_RznRO2Ut3mK-px_S27_J5-notion-1-7-339-bug-fixes-and-performance-improvements) — all bug fixes and performance work with nothing user-facing to point at. Worth noting only as a reminder that the platforms you depend on are still being smoothed underfoot while the interesting work happens above the waterline. ## Releases covered ### Figma - [Figma Weave workflows now connect to designs on the Figma Design canvas](https://releases.sh/release/rel_3ycvCS1cdhZVn2HXedj80-figma-design-canvases-feed-weave-workflows) - [Figma lets you publish custom Weave tools to the Figma Community](https://releases.sh/release/rel_ZrCEvKhWzqHsUWp6mMbKf-custom-weave-tools-publishable-to-figma-community) - [Figma folders now show previews to make them easier to tell apart](https://releases.sh/release/rel_7bsv5Sztu0fQyZMRw5rx1-folder-previews-make-folders-easier-to-tell-apart) - [Figma 26.35.0 dependency and maintenance release](https://releases.sh/release/rel_ItbwxyowWja6Agesuit16-figma-26-35-0-dependency-and-maintenance-release) ### Linear - [Linear expands Loops with workspace triggers, document editing, and Slack updates](https://releases.sh/release/rel_RTvgf7Ng_DxSaNsB3aEkU-loops-edit-docs-and-post-slack-updates-new-workspace-triggers) ### Notion - [Notion 1.7.337 internal release](https://releases.sh/release/rel_1OYjGijfzHSrn5Pg3DGr8-notion-1-7-337-internal-release) - [Notion 1.7.338 dependency update](https://releases.sh/release/rel_N6Mw3sZ-qN3nwWRMU-w6N-notion-1-7-338-dependency-update) - [Notion 1.7.339 bug fixes and performance improvements](https://releases.sh/release/rel_RznRO2Ut3mK-px_S27_J5-notion-1-7-339-bug-fixes-and-performance-improvements) ### Slack - [Slack 26.09.30](https://releases.sh/release/rel_oIzQimKMGYM36RLSrykEZ-slack-26-09-30)
