# Visual canvas connected to the real product ## Candidate spine > Mode gives Design Engineers a visual canvas connected to their actual product, so they can design like they would in Figma, share live prototypes, and turn proposed changes into PRs for engineering review. Mode lets Design Engineers design product-backed prototypes on a visual canvas, then turn proposed changes into PRs for engineering review. ## Why it is worth evaluating This is the most balanced option from the current brainstorm. It names the visual canvas, keeps the Figma-like workflow, makes the live product connection explicit, and uses `proposed changes` to preserve the trust boundary.
