With this release, we’re introducing Linked Data — a new way to work with data in your designs. With it, you can use JSON files that combine different sets of data in meaningful ways, making it easier and more realistic when you stress-test your designs.
We’re also giving you more control over document updates with Starred updates. You can now add an optional star to any update to mark it as important. And if you’re making changes to a Library but don’t want to share them with every save? Just Star the latest public update. This starred update will remain as the current Library update, and when you’re happy with your changes, star your next save to push them out to everyone.
Linked Data and Starred updates are available now in the latest Mac app update (71) and in the web app.

Sketch 70 is out now. The latest update to the Mac app introduces a UI refresh that fits right in with macOS Big Sur’s design language. It’s the same Sketch you know and love, but with every detail reconsidered — from a full-height sidebar and a refreshed Inspector, to all-new iconography throughout the app. You can find out more about the redesign here.
If you can’t upgrade to Big Sur just yet, don’t worry. We’ve spent time making sure that things still look and feel great in older versions of macOS.
With this release, we’ve also optimized the Mac app for Apple’s powerful new M1 chips. This means you’re ready to tap into the potential of Apple Silicon, which makes working in Sketch feel faster than ever.
Elsewhere, you’ll find a new option to insert Data sources as new layers from the Insert menu, a new Data button that helps you refresh a selected layer’s data, and a quicker, easier way to repeat layers in grids.
