In tldraw.com, stacking shapes more consistently preserves the relative positioning of shapes connected with arrows.

tldraw @tldraw.com · 12/09/2026

In the next version of tldraw, the "Frame selection" action will support wrapping a single shape in a new frame. Previously, you could only use this operation with multiple shapes selected.

tldraw @tldraw.com · 11/09/2026

As of this week's release, holding the right shift key while pressing the arrow keys to nudge shapes will do a "big nudge" in the same way as does holding the left shift key. sorry, we're running out of bugs over here

In the latest release, pressing a keyboard shortcut that includes an arrow key will no longer move selected objects by one pixel. For example, the Space + ➡️ shortcut (move the viewport over) would previously cause the ➡️ shortcut (move selected shapes right) to fire by mistake.

tldraw @tldraw.com · 02/09/2026

In the next version of tldraw, resizing multiple objects will now move bookmarks and other non-resizable objects instead of keeping them frozen in place.

tldraw @tldraw.com · 31/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, the text and bookmark shapes created by pasting will also be selected. This matches the select-on-paste behavior of other types of shapes.

020

tldraw @tldraw.com · 31/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, pasting from the context menu will center the pasted content on the canvas location where you first opened the menu, rather than on your cursor's position when you clicked Paste.

You can see this if you select three fairies and prompt the group. One fairy will be elected as the orchestrator, create the project, and wait for the other fairies to finish the work.

Agents only receive new context when they're prompted. While they stream back their response, they can't get new context. So unlike humans who actively observe, communicate, and learn while working collaboratively, agents are essentially working blind. No real-time feedback.

Getting multiple AI agents to work together on an infinite canvas means tackling a huge coordination problem. Here's what we learned while building our fairies feature (december only on tldraw dot com)
