    Scroll areas in prototypes

    Make your prototypes scroll in any direction — from a simple row of cards, to a full size map. Set up scroll areas in seconds and adjust them right on the Canvas.

    Hover, press and toggle triggers

    We’ve added new hover and press interactions, alongside the classic tap/click. Use these to trigger overlays, or even hide or show specific layers (that’s also new with this update). There’s also a new toggle option to show and hide a layer or overlay with each click or tap.

    Minimap

    Find your way around fast on an infinite Canvas. The Minimap will appear whenever you have layers outside your view, and show you exactly where you are in the current document. Simply click and drag on it to pan around.

    Pin documents and projects

    Pin important documents and projects to the top of the sidebar in the web app and Workspace window in the Mac app. Pinned items are personal to you, so you can use them in whatever way suits your workflow best.

    Improvements (2)

    • We’ve made some improvements to how our Figma file importer handles text layers. As a reminder, you can drag any .fig file onto the Sketch dock icon, or open it from the File menu to import it into Sketch.
    • You can now use the shortcut ⌘⏎ to save a new version from the Create Version modal (^⌘S).

    Changes (1)

    • This release is the last to support macOS 12 (Monterey). Future updates will require macOS version 13 (Ventura) or later.

    Fixes (13)

    • Fixes a bug that prevented the prototype player from running after resizing and moving it to another display.
    • Fixes a bug where tints applied to a Symbol or group containing text weren’t visible in the prototype player.
    • Fixes a bug where generating prototype previews for complex documents took longer than expected.
    • Fixes a bug that caused the prototype player to appear blank after you created or duplicated an Artboard.
    • Fixes a bug where prototype previews wouldn’t always update after making changes to a Symbol.
    • Fixes a bug where the prototype player wouldn’t immediately show changes after you edited a Symbol source.
    • Fixes a bug where replacing a Symbol with another would always behave as if the Swap Symbols at Original Size option was in effect, even when unchecked.
    • Fixes a bug that caused single Artboard or layer exports in jpg format to use the extension .jpeg and not .jpg. These exports now use .jpg again, as they did before.
    • Fixes a bug that reduced on-Canvas performance while working with large bitmaps.
    • Fixes a bug where adding line breaks (using ↵ Enter or ⇧↵) in descriptions for new saved versions wouldn’t work correctly.
    • Fixes a bug where you couldn’t scroll down a long description when creating a new document version.
    • Fixes a bug where dragging to select layers would select additional layers outside of the drag area.
    • Fixes a bug where the Refresh Data shortcut (⌃⇧D) didn’t appear in the Menu Bar’s Insert menu or the Insert Toolbar.

    New sharing options for prototypes

    We’ve made it easier to hide hints and hotspots when sharing prototypes. There’s also a new sharing option that removes toolbars and navigation for a more focused, client-friendly experience.

    • Web app

    Add comments to prototypes

    You can now can view and add comments while playing prototypes — right in the web browser — with no need to switch back to the design. Great for gathering feedback without interrupting anyone’s flow.

    • Web app

    Refreshed web app UI

    We’ve refreshed our web app’s UI, making it easier to navigate and helping you focus more on what matters — your designs. We’ve removed the sidebars, making more space for the full Canvas view, while keeping all the tools close at hand.

    Open the web app

    • Web app

    Inspect from full Canvas view

    You can now inspect designs in the web app with all the context that comes from the full Canvas view. Open up a design in your browser, click the Inspect icon and select whatever you need, right on the Canvas.

    • Web app

    Export Design Tokens

    In addition to Color Tokens, you can now export Layer Styles and Text Styles as Design Tokens — right from the web app. You can download your design tokens, or create an always-up-to-date public link for them.

    • Web app

    Improved notifications view

    We’ve also revamped our Web app’s notifications view — adding the option to filter between different types of notifications and giving everything more space, so you can see more of those all-important comments.

    Automatic saves for Workspace documents

    We automatically and regularly save your Workspace documents as you design — this means you don’t need to manually save at all unless you want to create a version. If you want to mark a specific milestone or moment of progress, you can quickly create a new version — and add a description or a star — by using ^⌘S.

    New prototype player

    We’ve rolled out a brand new prototype player that works across the Mac, web and iOS apps. With our new prototype player, playing your prototypes should feel smoother, faster, and more reliable. We also now support advanced display effects like background blurs on scrolling Artboards.

    Foresight 🤝 Tidy

    Foresight now works with 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.

    • 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 axes, making it even easier to align layers.
    • We’ve tidied up the Layer menu — you’ll now find a new Symbol submenu that groups together all Symbol-related actions.

    Changes (2)

    • Copying or dragging layers and Artboards from Sketch over to an external app as PNGs now works the same as JPG and TIFF exports, with the correct amount of pixels according to the scale, and always at 72 DPI.
    • macOS Sonoma no longer supports converting EPS files, so you won’t be able to import EPS files into Sketch. You’ll need to convert your file to PDF first to import it. Sorry about that!

    • Fixes a bug in Smart Layout that would occur when resizing a group’s bounds to values less than zero.

    Taking Smart Layout beyond Symbols

    Smart Layout is now available in groups and Artboards, bringing more control and convenience to your work. We’ve also made plenty of great improvements to Smart Layout, including new keyboard shortcuts, Foresight support, and a whole lot more.

    Improvements (4)

    • The Size Instance to Fit Content option is now available in the Layer menu (which means you can also create a shortcut for it).
    • You can now enable or disable all overrides for a Symbol source via a new checkbox at the top of the Manage Overrides Inspector section.
    • Sketch is now much more responsive when copying and pasting large Artboards between pages or documents, so you should see fewer beach balls (unless that’s what you’re designing).
    • The ⏎ and ⇧⏎ shortcuts now consistently create a new line when editing text overrides on the Canvas, in the Overrides panel, and when editing comment fields. Pressing ⌘⏎ submits the text change. Also, text input fields now resize more consistently as you edit.

    Changes (2)

    • If you hide collaborator names and cursors in your document, we will no longer show their selections either. This feels a bit more in line with what you’d expect in this scenario.
    • When swapping Symbol instances for the first time, the Swap at Original Size checkbox is now unchecked by default.

    Fixes (22)

    • Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to crash when opening and reading a corrupted document.
    • Fixes a bug that prevented a prototype animation from moving to the right in Sonoma.
    • Fixes a bug where nested Symbol instances in a component sometimes didn’t display correctly.
    • Fixes a bug that caused extra spacing to appear around some menus in macOS Sonoma
    • Fixes a bug where exporting selected layers would create a Slice in the wrong location.
    • Fixes a bug that caused inconsistent behavior when switching to Auto Height while resizing text layers.
    • Fixes a bug where a bitmap’s dimensions would be incorrectly doubled when Option-dragging a layer from the Layer List onto the Canvas, or dragging in an image from the Export preview in the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window in the Mac app from updating correctly when you deleted a document from your Workspace in the web app.
    • Fixes a bug that blocked installing and updating Libraries if the download file size information wasn’t provided.

    • Fixes a crash that could occur when deleting gradient presets in the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that sometimes caused a black line to appear on the edge of an image after reducing its file size.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the selection highlight from hiding when you adjusted a layer’s corner properties, making it harder to see those all-important corners.

    • Fixes a bug that prevented Library components from syncing correctly.

    Better sorting and filtering

    When you’re browsing or searching for documents in the web app, you can now filter the view to show only documents with prototypes or documents you can edit. Within projects, you can ungroup collections to display all documents individually in your results. We’ve also added a new sorting feature, to help you organize your documents by name, date created, or last updated. Whichever you choose, you can sort your results in ascending or descending order.
