What’s improved

  • Manually saving Workspace documents is no longer necessary — we now automatically save your changes while you’re working and when you close a document. You can still create new versions using ⌃⌘S.
  • We’ve added Foresight to the Tidy button in the Inspector — you’ll now see a preview when you hover over it, giving you a better idea of how your changes will look. Tidy now also works on both the horizontal and vertical axis, making it even easier to align layers.

What’s fixed

  • Fixes a bug that wouldn’t show the document thumbnail correctly after processing the document.
  • Fixes a bug in Smart Layout where layers in a group would move unexpectedly when editing text.
  • Fixes a bug that caused the Workspace dropdown to display incorrectly in macOS Sonoma.
  • Fixes a crash that could occur in the JS API when using overrides from Library Symbols.
  • When you apply data to overrides it now correctly matches the Layer List order.
  • When swapping a Symbol, we’ll now apply the same scaling as the origin Symbol Source.
