    98.2

    This release fixes a bug that caused Sketch to crash when you opened certain documents. Thanks for your reports!

    Download Sketch 98.2

    Requires macOS Monterey (12.0.0) or newer

    • Mac app

    98.1

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

    Changes (1)

    • We now sort Projects in the same way Apple does with Finder. For example, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3,…10.10 etc. rather than 10.1, 10.10, 10.2 etc. This affects anywhere you see Projects and sort them by name.

    Fixes (2)

    • Fixes a bug that stopped characters with accents and diacritics from appearing when you wrote a comment in the Mac or iOS app.
    • Fixes a bug that caused text layers that contained only emoji to always include themselves within a selection, even if you didn’t select them yourself.

    Improvements (4)

    • We’re continuing to work hard on a new experimental feature, Smart Layout in groups. You can read about the latest updates on our community forum.
    • 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 stopped the Canvas from updating when you made changes to layers that involved certain combinations of groups and masks.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when trying to undo an edit to a comment.
    • Fixes a bug that caused export previews in the Inspector to appear at a higher resolution than the actual export.
    • 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.
    • Fixes a bug that caused text from a Linked Data source to always insert at random from the Inspector, even if you had unchecked the option for this.
    • Fixes a bug that could block you from deleting empty groups if the last layer in that group was cut or moved out of it.

    • Mac app

    97.1

    This release fixes some bugs and crashes that you’ve reported in our latest update.

    Fixes (12)

    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window from showing local templates if you were using a license and not signed into a Workspace.
    • Fixes a bug that caused PDF or EPS slice exports to include all content outside the slice and increase the size of the final export.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window from showing recent documents if you registered Sketch with a license key and were not signed in to any Workspaces.
    • Fixes a bug that caused Command-D to discard unsaved documents from the Workspace Save panel. To discard an unsaved document, you can instead use Command-Backspace.
    • Fixes a bug that caused SVG formatting to change with locale, leading to incorrect exports depending on your Mac’s region settings.
    • Fixes centerOnLayer and adjustToFit in the Javascript API, which were using removed and renamed Sketch methods.
    • Fixes a bug that led to nested Symbol overrides no longer being sorted alphabetically.
    • Fixes a rare crash that could occur when you resize Artboards in certain circumstances.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur as you applied rounded corners.
    • Fixes a bug that led to poor performance with some Sketchtool commands.
    • Fixes a bug that caused the Workspace window to temporarily show Workspace documents after you signed out.
    • Fixes an issue that made marquee selection wrongly select masked layers even if the marquee selection was entirely outside the mask. The fix also includes an improvement that makes marquee selection behave the same way as click selection, using the actual layer shape instead of the bounding box to determine if a layer should be selected.

    Collections

    Introducing a new level of organization for your Workspace. With Collections, you can group documents inside of Projects. Just like Projects, Collections are workflow-agnostic — so you can organize documents using whatever groupings suit you and your collaborators best. Collections are available right now in the latest version of the Mac, iOS and web apps.

    • iOS app

    View & Mirror — now on iPad

    Sketch View & Mirror (our iOS companion app) now supports viewing local documents (from Files or third-party apps), offline mode and Apple’s Handoff feature. Better still, it’s now available for iPad, where you can browse your designs in a beautiful full Canvas view and see all the details — whether they’re on an Artboard or not.

    Selection improvements

    We’ve spent some time improving all the little interactions that might bug you or feel inconsistent when it comes to selection and dragging in the Mac app. Overall, it should feel easier and more predictable to select layers by clicking on their visible parts, or move layers by dragging within their selection box. Check out the video above for a walkthrough of these changes.

    • Mac app

    Multi-layer renaming

    You can now select multiple layers and use Edit > Rename (⌘R) to rename your entire selection, with support for modifier tokens and optional matching of portions of the layers’ names. You can also use Edit > Rename All (⌥⌘R) to rename all the layers on your current page, with the option to filter for specific layers to rename. Finally, you can quickly rename another selection of layers using the last renaming pattern you used via Edit > Rename with Last Format (⌥⇧⌘R).

    Version 97 is available to download

    Our latest update to the Mac app introduces Collections, multi-layer renaming, a new save dialog, and a whole host of selection and dragging improvements.

    Improvements (14)

    • We’re continuing to improve on our experimental feature — Smart Layout in groups. This update brings support for duplicating and adding new layers to groups, as well as Smart Layout for Artboards. Learn how to enable it, if you haven’t already, and head over to the community forum for a full list of changes.
    • You can now use File > Save with Description (⌃⌘S) to add a description and Star when you save a version of a document you’re working on. Descriptions give everyone a quick way to see Changes when browsing a document’s version history in the web app, while Stars control a version’s visibility to Viewers (or, if it’s a Library document, whether the changes trigger a Library update).
    • You can now create a rectangular marquee selection on the Canvas by pressing X and drawing your marquee. This makes it easier to make a selection on top of a layer (such as a background layer) without selecting the layer itself.
    • Right/secondary-clicking on overlapping layers, while holding ⇧, will now bring up a quick layer selection menu. You can hover over each item in the menu to see a highlight around that layer on the Canvas, making it even easier to select a layer hidden below another.
    • We’ve tidied up SVG exports so they include fewer unnecessary digits within any fractional values.
    • You can now press and hold ⌥⌘ before or after you start dragging a marquee to select layers that are fully enclosed within the bounds of another layer. Holding ⌥⌘ when you have already selected layers has a different effect and will move the selected layers, even if your cursor is not positioned over them.
    • You can now ⌘-click on an Artboard’s background/empty space to select it, even if it already contains layers.
    • We’ve improved performance in a few different areas in this release; when you switch between particularly complex pages in documents, for documents with large gradients and blurs, and for shadow spreading on oval shapes.
    • When you’ve selected a nested Symbol or layer inside another Symbol, you can now use Edit > Select > Select Containing Symbol (⌘ Esc) to select the parent Symbol.
    • You can now right/secondary-click anywhere within a layer’s selection box, and not just on the layer itself, to bring up the contextual menu. This works even if the layer you’ve selected is not the frontmost layer.
    • You can now ⌘-click on a selected layer within a multi-layer selection to exclusively select that layer and deselect all of the others.
    • You can now click inside a hollow shape (one with a border, but no fills) that you’ve already selected to select a layer behind it. This does not affect dragging a selected shape, which can happen within that shape’s hollow area.
    • When you are aligning multi-selections, you can now use Artboards as a reference object.
    • When you select a locked layer via the Layer List, you can now move, resize and rotate it, just like any other layer. Making a selection on the Canvas won’t pick up any locked layers, which saves you from making accidental edits.

    Changes (8)

    • Command-click will now consistently select a Symbol when you click on its empty space, even if there’s a Text layer or another Symbol where you click. You can quickly select a layer that’s behind another using Shift-secondary-click.
    • Invision legacy DSM plugin version 1.1.50 has been marked as incompatible with Sketch 97.
    • Sympli Handoff plugin version 1.4.2 has been marked as incompatible with Sketch 97.
    • We’ve removed the ability to ⌥-click to select an obscured layer. Instead, you can now right/secondary click while holding ⇧ to bring up a quick layer selection menu. This also fixes some issues where holding ⌥ and hovering over layers would not show measurements correctly.
    • You can no longer click on empty space within a Group to select it. This way, you can be sure that you’ll always select directly under your cursor, so long as that layer is unlocked, without unexpectedly selecting a Group’s empty space in front of it. This does not affect dragging a Group you’ve already selected.
    • With this update, we no longer support macOS Big Sur. We now support macOS Monterey or newer. You can continue to use version 96.3 of Sketch with Big Sur, or upgrade to a new version of macOS.
    • When you duplicate layers with ⌥-drag, releasing ⌥ simultaneously or slightly before releasing your mouse (or trackpad) will now still duplicate the layers instead of moving them.
    • You can now drag a selection of layers by clicking and dragging on any empty space within the outer selection box, and not just on the layers themselves. This is especially helpful if you’re dragging many small layers or shapes with borders but no fills. If you want to select an unselected layer within that area, though, you can still do that.

    Fixes (13)

    • Fixes an issue where rearranging an unselected layer with Smart Distribute could add it to the current selection, instead of exclusively selecting it.
    • Fixes a bug that could stop you from exporting very large PDF and EPS files.
    • Fixes a bug that caused export previews in the Inspector to render in full resolution and not as a preview.
    • Fixes a bug that caused blurs for very large layers to use lots of system memory.
    • Fixes a bug that could clip Artboard backgrounds incorrectly when you copied and pasted multiple Artboards — within Sketch or to another app.
    • Fixes a bug that wrongly indicated that you could set/unset a layer within a multi-layer selection as reference object when you hovered over the empty space within the individual layer’s selection box. To set/unset a reference object within a multi-layer selection, you need to click on a solid part of the layer, and this fix makes that more obvious.
    • Fixes a bug that meant shapes with a border but no fill would have a selection hit area that was unnecessarily large on the inside of the shape, making it harder to select layers behind them.
    • Fixes a bug that made it impossible to select a shape with both a fill and border by clicking on its border.
    • Fixes a bug where Paste Over and Paste Here would not paste in the correct position if you had selected an Artboard.
    • Fixes a bug which caused open paths to disappear when you converted them to outlines.
    • Fixes a bug that caused Symbols belonging to a deactivated Library to not appear in the Symbol menu in the Inspector, even if they were present in the current document.
    • Fixes a bug that meant resizing Sketch’s window with the Components View active would not shrink the expanded search bar, but instead hide other toolbar icons.
    • Fixes a bug that made it impossible to rotate a layer on the Canvas by 180º in some cases.

    New save dialog

    We’ve completely redesigned the Save dialog, giving you more context about your Workspace, easier organization, and full support for the new Collections feature. This is now the default way to save in Sketch. You can still save locally to your Mac via the “Save to Your Mac” button in the Save dialog, or via File > Save to Your Mac. You can also change the default save and open location under the General tab in Sketch’s Settings.

    96.3

    This release contains an important bug fix related to a feature we’re releasing soon. It also fixes a crash that could occur if a layer or slice had an invalid export format, caused by a plugin or Figma import (we now change that export format to PNG).
