Outbound: publish the component back to Figma
Say what this means in practice: "Publish the component back to Figma."
Step 1 of 2
Outbound: publish the component back to Figmaclose the loop
When something is worth sharing, select the rendered component in Design ModeA way to point at an element in Cursor's built-in browser and change it directly, instead of describing it in words. Press Enter for the full definition., Command+L it into chat, and say "publish this component back to Figma" with the target file link so it knows where to land. Cursor recreates the component in Figma with the same colors, fonts and width, split into proper layers. Published-back layers show up in purple. Now a designer can prototype in Cursor and hand a clean, collaborator-friendly Figma file back to the team.
On the bidirectional workflow:
“I'm able to get context from Figma into Cursor, and then I'm able to get anything that I prototype or I build in Cursor back to Figma. And so, it's this beautiful dance.”
