Claude Design: from idea to canvas
Design pairs a conversation with an editable canvas. Current documentation supports starting in chat, Artifacts, Claude Code or the standalone experience. Design is in beta and depends on plan and permissions.

Steps
- Request a defined design, such as an onboarding screen, or choose Output > Design where available. Provide audience, purpose, dimensions and sample content.
- Supply approved screenshots or a design system. You can connect or import a design system; /design-sync in Claude Code connects it with your code.
- Use chat for broad changes, inline comments for a specific area, or direct canvas editing. Inspect the result after each change.
- Review versions, screen sizes and behavior. Export or hand off to Code only after checking components, assets and the sharing audience.
Common pitfall: A good-looking prototype is not a production app. Check accessibility, flows and implementation before real use.
Hands-on exercise: Create a screen with a heading and a button. Change the heading with a comment and the color directly, then compare versions.
