Product Setup – New Test Cut
The test cut portion of New Product Setup has been updated for Cricut Maker 3, Cricut Explore 3, Cricut Joy Xtra, and Cricut Joy machines. It now introduces the Canvas and allows for customization.
Note: Currently, this update is available only when the Design Space language is set to “English.”
Bolder autocomplete suggestions
This update makes autocomplete suggestions more clear. When you type a term in the search box on Home, or through Images on the Canvas, the characters you type will appear gray, and the autocomplete suggestions will appear in bold face type.
More prominent search bar
This update puts the search bar in a more prominent position in the center of the Home page. When you begin to type a query in the search bar, it will relocate to its usual position in the top left.
Improved Project Templates
Need to make your project a specific size? From Canvas, click on Templates to expand a Templates panel next to the Canvas. Then, select your project (i.e., T-Shirt), and the specific size you’re looking for. A pink template will appear on Canvas to help you design and visualize what your final project will look like.
Text Toolbar Overlapping Content at Top of Canvas - Improvement
With this update, the Text toolbar will no longer overlap Text content near the top of the Canvas.
Starter Project Auto-populates Template
When starting a new project and choosing a project type, a template will automatically be placed on the Canvas.
Check Project/Canvas Data Integrity Before Opening
When user-saved projects have objects with missing or bad data saved in them we’ll now remove the objects with bad/missing data so the project can open, and notify the user with this message: "Missing Canvas Data. This project contained invalid layers which have been removed from the Canvas."

2024-11-18 | Version 8.58
This Design Space for Desktop release (v8.58) includes the following features and fixes.
Connection Help Updates
As part of the connection improvements we are making, additional messaging now appears during machine connection on the cut screen.
Selecting “Click here” brings the user to this screen:
Upon selecting connection type, users are directed to connection instructions and troubleshooting tips. Clicking “Continue” sends users back to the cut screen to continue making their project.
Project Type Display
This feature causes the project type to be displayed near the project title on the Canvas.
Patterns Updates
Users can now delete their personally uploaded pattern fills! When you mouse over one of your uploaded pattern tiles a trash can icon will appear; simply click that icon and confirm you wish to delete the pattern.
Note: Deleting a Pattern removes the pattern from your pattern library; if you only wish to remove the pattern fill from your shape on the Canvas, select the Print type drop down and select a color for your shape instead, or choose a different Operation for your shape.
Additionally, Pattern tile size has been increased so the tiles now show the whole pattern instead of only part of the pattern.

2024-11-04 | Version 8.55
This Design Space for Desktop release (v8.55) includes the following features and fixes.
Image Upload - Ability to pan using click and drag
We recognized that scrolling and panning in the image upload flow is difficult. A new tool has been added allowing users to pan an image around the preview window using spacebar + click and drag. A hint appears when the zoom % is changed, and the pointer changes to multi-directional pointer when image panning is active.
Image panning is available on the Background Remover, Convert to Layers, and Image Details screens.
Toolbar warning / information
This feature provides the user more information about their hardware to help them understand their hardware limitations – such as unsupported operating system, low disk space, and low memory – and any steps they can take to alleviate the issue, where possible.
Image Panel Update
This feature introduces a few changes to the Image panel:
- Images in the image panel can now be selected without being inserted onto the Canvas. Instead, a (+) button has been added for inserting images onto Canvas.
- When an image is selected, a “More to Explore” row opens, showing three images like the selected image.
- Users can select “View All” in the More to Explore row to open a new page in the panel that shows more similar images, and, where applicable, more images from the Contributing Artist or the image set for the selected image.

This update adds a project type and theme to project details, if available.

2024-10-14 | Version 8.52
This Design Space for Desktop release (v8.52) includes the following features and fixes.
Complexity warnings
To help users understand when the complexity of their design may start to impact Canvas performance, we have added a warning in the Layers panel that provides information about the issue, and general recommendations for simplifying the layer or group in question. Complexity can result from a high number of elements on the Canvas, or layers (such as some uploaded images) that have a very high number of nodes in their path data.
Note: This is a warning only; it does not prevent users from proceeding to make the project, but it may take time for the Canvas to process actions when the project is very complex.
Improved Address Validation
This update improves the way we manage address validation on the backend.

This feature helps you quickly discover images that complement your chosen style or theme, sparking new ideas and creativity.
How to Use the Related Images Feature:
-
Open the Image Panel: Navigate to the Image Panel to begin your search for project images.
- Select an Image: Choose any image that catches your eye.

Print Then Cut calibration sheet standardized across platforms
Before, the Print Then Cut calibration sheet would be slightly different sizes depending on which platform it was printed from. This update corrects those differences, making the calibration sheet the same across all platforms. This standardized sheet now contains a version number, and the letters along the right of the page have been shifted a little to the left.
Note: There are no functionality changes; if you’ve already printed the current version of the calibration sheet, it still works.
New calibration sheet (For reference purposes only; print sheet from Design Space to calibrate your machine)
Destination page update
Now, when a video tile is included with other tiles on a destination page, the video will be displayed across the full tile.
