What’s new

  • Smart Animate in prototypes We’ve added a new animation option between Artboards — Smart Animate — that animates changes between layers with matching names. If you’ve used Magic Move in Keynote, you’ll know how this works. There are a variety of easing options to choose from and you can customize the animation duration to get things moving just right.

What’s improved

  • We now remember and maintain the scroll position of scrollable areas with the same name and position in the Layer List hierarchy across different Artboards when you switch between them in prototypes.
  • You can now click and drag to scroll within scrollable areas when you play a prototype. We’ve also made sure that scrolling a horizontal scroll area that’s nested within a vertical scroll area no longer causes any unexpected vertical jumps.
  • We’ve added HEIC as a new export option. You can export up to 8192 x 8192 in size in this format.
  • You can now set a hidden layer as an interaction target and it won’t be triggered until you make that layer visible.
  • You can now replace the underlying Library for all Components in a document (or a specific Component type) by heading to Edit > Replace Library. This replaces all components with the same name with their counterpart in the replacement Library. For more control, you can select specific Components (usually Symbols) on the Canvas and choose Edit > Replace Selected Components to replace the underlying Library for just those Components.
  • We’ve made some big improvements to PDF exports. You can now choose which Artboards to export, optionally add Artboard titles and include comments (for Workspace documents only) and choose to render Artboards as bitmaps for more precision. Also, for Workspace documents, you can export all comments as a CSV file.
  • You can now double-click on an Artboard’s name on the Canvas to rename it! One of those things that you didn’t realize you needed until you start using it.
  • We’ve added new display options to the prototype player in the Mac app. You can now choose to display any prototype at full width, meaning the prototype will resize so its width always matches the player window’s width. As a result, prototypes you play in the full width display mode with a larger height will scroll vertically.
  • We know it’s been a long time coming, but you can now use Color Variables in gradients. Nothing else to say about this one, we’re just glad it’s here and hopefully you are too!
  • We now support exporting bitmap images up to 65535 x 65535 in size. WebP images are limited to 16383 x 16383. You can export PNG and TIFF at much larger sizes, limited only by your Mac’s hardware and memory. Exporting images at these larger sizes will take longer.
  • We’ve made it easier to add and enable the most popular Apple UI design Libraries directly from the Libraries pane in Sketch’s settings.
  • You can now switch between different Component types in the Insert window by holding Command and pressing the numeric keys 1–4 to move between the different views.
  • You can now hide any layer within a Symbol instance, just like you would hide a layer in a group, for example.
  • The Workspace window now remembers your previous sidebar selection (Recent Documents, Templates, Libraries, etc.) when you close and re-open the window or quit and restart Sketch.

What’s changed

  • With this release, we no longer support macOS 12 (Monterey). We update our support of macOS versions to continue improving Sketch with the latest frameworks and APIs.
  • Di ‘hola’ a diseñar en español. A partir de ahora, podrás usar Sketch en español e interactuar con la interfaz de manera más familiar e intuitiva. Para poder utilizar Sketch en español, asegúrate de que el idioma principal de tu Mac es también español o, si quieres utilizar tu Mac en otro idioma, configura Sketch en español en Ajustes del Sistema. Echa un vistazo a las instrucciones de Apple para ajustarlo todo a tu gusto.

What’s fixed

  • Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to crash when you switched to the Symbols page of a document with an extremely large number of Symbols.
  • Fixes a crash that occurred if you attempted to import an SVG which contained an offset value of more than 100%.
  • Fixes a bug that caused the handle on the color picker to move slightly when you clicked on it, making it difficult to lock its axis as you moved it by holding Shift.
  • Fixes a crash that could happen if you quickly deleted lots of gradient presets in the color picker.
  • Fixes a bug that could cause the prototype player to lose sync with the active document window when you switched between different document windows on different displays.
  • The Inspector should now feel faster when working with Symbols that contain a large number of text overrides.
  • Fixes a bug that could cause a text override you had just reset to revert back to its override when you changed your selection.
  • Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to hang when you attempted to export WebP images via the Share button in the Inspector.
  • Fixes a bug that could cause Sketch to hang when you resized lines that appeared to have a height of zero.
  • Fixes a bug that could cause layers using the Auto-link to Right Artboard prototyping destination not to show their link to the right Artboard on the Canvas.
  • Fixes a bug that stopped Sketch from respecting the correct Smart Layout settings when you pasted a layer into a nested group. Previously it would adopt the parent group’s settings, but now correctly adopts the nested group’s settings.
  • Fixes a bug that meant some sections of the Workspace window would not show a proper empty state when there were no items to show.
  • Fixes a bug that caused the Back to Instance button to not work if it was overlapping a layer or Artboard.
  • Clicking on a locked layer inside a group will now select the parent group. Previously, if you clicked on a locked layer inside a group, nothing would happen.
  • Fixes a bug that caused the location of the Open from Your Mac dialog to switch to an Application Support folder with cached versions of Workspace documents, which wasn’t too helpful.
