    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.

    Improvements (3)

    • 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 (9)

    • Fixes a bug where the text field wouldn‘t update when editing it.
    • Fixes a bug in Smart Layout that would occur when resizing a group’s bounds to values less than zero.
    • Fixes a bug that prevented a document’s thumbnail image from displaying after the document has finished processing.

    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 bug where searching for documents that contain umlaut characters (such as Å, Ä, Ö) didn’t appear as search results.
    • Fixes a bug that sometimes prevented scrolling to the end of the Overrides list in the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that caused some interaction hotspot overrides to be hidden in the Overrides panel in the Inspector.

    • Fixes a bug that caused Shadows, Inner Shadows and Blur properties to be hidden in the Inspector immediately after exiting vector editing mode.
    • 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 where selecting a shape will show the previously used corners mode (uniform or individual), instead of the most appropriate mode for the selected shape.
    • Fixes a bug that prevented Library components from syncing correctly.

    • Web app

    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.

    • Web app

    New sharing modal

    We‘ve redesigned our sharing modal to give you more control over what you share inside and outside your Workspace. Instead of a combined list, we’ve split access settings into three tabs, giving you a quick overview of what you’re sharing, where, and with whom. This update also lets you invite Guests to projects as Viewers, making it easier to share your work with people outside the Workspace.

    Dark mode

    We’ve enabled dark mode in the web app. You can choose between Light or Dark or have the web app match your system settings. To try it out, open your Account menu (that shows your profile image) at the bottom of the left sidebar, then select an option from the Appearance menu.

    This update includes some fixes to crashes and bugs you’ve reported. Thanks for your feedback!

    • We now only show the notifications icon (bell) in the toolbar if you have notifications to review.
    • We’ve improved how things look when content is a little slow to load on the Canvas. It should feel more natural now.
    • We’re continuing to make our Figma file importer more reliable, and this update includes a few enhancements here. Thanks for all your feedback!

    Fixes (17)

    • Fixes a bug that caused marquee selections to incorrectly select boolean shapes when the selection included sub-shapes but not the compound boolean shape itself.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when you changed the order of images fills in a Symbol source, if any instances of that Symbol had loaded already.
    • Fixes an issue in the JavaScript API where using text style with Style objects would cause Sketch to crash.
    • Fixes a bug that made Library names difficult to read in the Document Settings pane after you changed Sketch’s appearance.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window from remembering the Workspace you had selected before you quit Sketch.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped plugins from being able to control trimming options for exports via our API. Also, by default, Symbol instances will no longer be automatically trimmed when you export them.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the image editing tools from appearing when you double-clicked on an image.

    • Fixes a bug that caused an error icon to appear misplaced if a Symbol could not be displayed.
    • Fixes a bug that named all new Collections you created to be called “New Collection”, regardless of how many Collections with that name already existed. Now we number your new Collections so not all new Collections are “New Collection”.
    • Fixes a bug that could occur if you tried to apply a background blur to a bitmap without an alpha channel.
    • Fixes a bug that caused Artboard names to render incorrectly in certain scenarios.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped you from being able to paste images using the CMYK color space into Sketch.
