Performance
Major performance improvements when working with complex documents containing many prototyping flows.
Fill Popover
All-new fill popover with improved features and collapsible sections.
Override Management
You can now manage which overridable properties appear directly in the Symbol’s master.
Overrides
Overrides in Symbols can now be selected via the Layer List, and in the Canvas when the Symbol instance is selected.
Snapping Improvements
Snapping has been much improved overall when moving or resizing layers.
Color Picker (7)
- Color presets added to Document Colors are now included in Libraries
- Fill presets can now be named and viewed in list, as well as grid view
- Support has been included to view color values in HSL
- You can now copy color preset values to the clipboard in various formats
- Solid color presets are now visible when viewing the gradient picker
- Frequently used images can now be selected from the Image tab in the Fill Popover
- Noise fill tab has been removed and can be applied via the Image fill presets
Enhancements (25)
- Added the ability to navigate directly to a nested Symbol’s master from the Inspector
- Improved management of Data sources and suppliers in Preferences and menus
- Improved the Convert to Outlines feature where both differently colored subranges of text and decorations, such as underlines, are now retained
- Improved prototyping playback by now remembering the scroll position of the previous screen when going back
- Improved performance when adjusting Inspector properties for multiple selected layers
- Further improved the appearance of Layer List icons for non-Retina displays
- Long Symbol titles are now truncated as expected in the Update Components view
- When a Symbol is detached a background layer is now created to represent the background color of the Symbol master
- Nested imported Symbols can now be detached by pressing the Option key while detaching their parent Symbol
- Further improved performance in the Canvas for documents containing many Artboards
- Selection handles are now hidden while moving layers around the Canvas
- Sketch now hides the other resize handles when resizing a layer
- Grid and Layout visibility can now be toggled for all selected Artboards
- Improved the way available updates to remote Libraries are reported in Sketch
- Improved snapping while resizing Artboards so they can now snap to their contents
- Improved snapping while resizing multiple layers to indicate equal distances between the selection and other nearby layers
- Improved snapping for rotated layers
- Layers moved within nested groups now snap to the edges of their parent Artboard
- Improved the way shapes resize after being flipped on their axis
- Improved Smart Guides performance when interacting with multi-selections in complex documents
- When joining open paths with curves, those curves are now better respected
- Closing a curved path will join the ends with a curve segment

- Fixed a bug where the appearance of bitmap layers might differ from image fills even when their adjusted opacity values matched
- Fixed a bug where borders with particular opacity values might appear as if they were clipped
- Fixed a bug where Grids and Layouts might appear to visible beyond the edges of their Artboard in rare cases
- Fixed a bug where a text contained within a fixed width text layer would change its position unexpectedly when resizing
- Fixed a bug where an open path would be closed if resized as part of a group

- Fixed a bug where applied Shared Style overrides weren’t retained when copying and pasting Symbols between documents
- Fixed a bug where a Shared Style created from a text layer that had been converted to outlines wrongly listed the Layer Style as a being Text Style instead
