Figma's 10 Nov 2026 release notes describe three Motion changes that shorten the path from animation in design to what users see.

## What's new / How it works

- **Style previews:** preview preset animation styles in the animations list and on canvas before applying them.
- **Physics-based springs:** set mass, stiffness and damping for iOS and Android springs; duration updates to match. You can save springs to a design system.
- **Lottie preview:** see how an animation plays as a Lottie file before exporting.

## Why it matters

Springs are the natural motion model on mobile platforms, and developers use exactly these parameters. Setting them in Figma and saving them to a library removes the translation from easing curves. How closely native implementations reproduce them is not verified; check one screen with your developers.

## How to start

1. Open Figma Motion on a simple element such as a button.
2. Try the preset style previews on canvas.
3. Set a spring and save it to your design system.
4. Check the Lottie preview before exporting.
