Cursor 3.1 Adds Canvases and Tiled Layout

2026-04-18 · cursor

Cursor shipped a fresh 3.1 update centered on the Agents Window. The release adds durable canvases, better voice dictation, and cleaner branch-aware agent launches.

Key Features or Updates

Canvases let Cursor respond with interactive visual artifacts like dashboards, tables, diagrams, and charts. The same release also improves tiled layout, upgraded voice input, branch selection, and diff-to-file navigation.

Impact on Developers

This makes it easier to run several agents in parallel without losing context. It also reduces mistakes when starting work on the wrong branch and helps teams compare agent outputs side by side.

How to use it

Try canvases in Cursor 3.1 if you want richer agent outputs than plain text. Teams using multiple agents should also switch to the tiled layout and branch picker right away.
