    Restrict access to projects

    We’re giving you even more control over when and where you share your work. Now you can choose whether a project is visible to your whole Workspace, or just the members you invite to it. It’s ideal when you’re working under NDAs, or just want to keep noise around new ideas to a minimum.

    84

    This release focuses on smaller fixes and updates that make Sketch better to use every day. We’ve also included a small round of Prototyping improvements (with plenty more on the way).

    Improvements (7)

    • When you grab and drag prototyping interactions on the Canvas, you’ll now only select interactions with the same destination Artboard, even if you have selected multiple layers.
    • We’ve added an extra option for Hotspot layers to the View menu. Now you can choose to either show or hide Hotspots.
    • We’ve made it easier to create prototypes. You no longer need to select a layer first to start creating a prototype!
    • You can now override any prototype interaction in a Symbol instance. Previously this was only possible with Hotspots, but we’ve opened that up for Links as well.
    • We’ve improved shadow rendering for groups, making them faster and visible even when deeply zoomed in.
    • We’ve improved the visibility of prototype links. Now, you can either choose to see all links for a prototype or only those related to the selected layer(s) from the View menu.
    • When exporting blurs, we now match the scale of the export. This way, you can export at high scales and blurs won‘t appear pixelated when you zoom in.

    Changes (2)

    • The Runner plugin version 1.1.9 is incompatible with Sketch 84. You can still enable it manually in Sketch Preferences > Plugins if you want, but it could cause some instability.
    • A friendly reminder that we’ve changed the minimum system requirements to Big Sur (11.0) from version 84 onward. You can download previous versions of the Mac app (with support for older operating systems) from our updates page.

    Fixes (11)

    • Fixes a crash that could occur when closing a document.
    • Fixes a bug where part of the Prototyping section of the Inspector would disappear when adding a new Link or Hotspot.
    • Fixes a bug that could hide the Artboard’s title in the prototype’s Preview window if the name was too long or the window too small.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when setting a negative spread value for a Component’s inner shadow.
    • Fixes a bug that could create a gap in a prototype link if you added an Artboard over the link and then moved it.
    • We’ve fixed a bug that stopped you from selecting layers in a combined shape when double-clicking on it.
    • We’ve reduced the amount of system memory used when inserting large Symbols at higher zoom levels.
    • Fixes a bug where highly saturated blurred layers would sometimes not render correctly.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause rounded ends in masked paths to appear clipped when exporting them to SVG.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when saving or opening a document placed in a location that wasn‘t writable.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause nested Symbols with Smart Layout to behave unexpectedly.

    Corner Controls and Styles

    You can now adjust the corner radius of rectangles on the Canvas: drag a corner handle to control all corners with the same size, hold ⌘ to control a single corner, or ⌥ to control all corners at once. We’ve also added four individual input fields in the Inspector for each corner in the rectangle. Finally, we’ve introduced new Corner Styles: in addition to Rounded and Smooth, you can now use the Angled, Inside Square, and Inside Arc styles.

    Improvements (5)

    • You can now style corners on triangles, stars, polygons and closed paths directly from the Corners panel in the Inspector. These shapes support our brand new Corner Styles too — try them out!
    • We’ve given the segmented controls in the Inspector a makeover. They’re no longer colored and instead match the appearance of buttons, making them less distracting.
    • You can now set Artboards as click targets in a prototype. This way, you don‘t have to add hotspot layers anymore when you just want to show a simple flow or presentation.
    • When creating exportable layers or slices with prefixes, we now give you more control over the prefix’s placement in the file name if the layer name contains a slash (/). With the new Primary Prefix option, the prefix will appear in front of the full path instead of the last path component only.
    • In the Recent documents view in the Workspace window you can now search a document by the author of the latest version. Of course, you can still search a document by its title.

    Changes (1)

    • Version 83 is the final Mac app release to support macOS Catalina (10.15.0). When we release version 84, the minimum system requirements will change to 11.0 (Big Sur). You can download previous versions of the Mac app (with support for older operating systems) from our updates page.

    Fixes (19)

    • Fixes a crash that could occur when leaving vector editing mode after unhiding the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug where we would remind you to embed fonts when saving a local document in some cases.
    • Fixes a bug where you wouldn‘t be able to perform a Union operation on adjacent, but not intersecting, shapes.
    • When adding a prototype link on the Canvas, we‘ll now show you target icons next to your Artboard so it‘s easier to link to the previous Artboard or to another page.
    • Fixes an issue where we wouldn‘t give you the option to embed fonts when saving a Workspace document via the Collaboration toolbar item.
    • Fixes a bug where saving a Workspace document you had opened for the first time would prompt you to embed fonts even if all fonts were already embedded.
    • Fixes a bug that could ignore Text on Path when performing boolean operations.
    • Fixes a bug where you couldn‘t Command-click to select masked layers.
    • Fixes a bug where the appearance of shadows with non-zero spread values on lines wouldn’t match the line’s end cap type.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause a rotated layer using a background blur to render the blur in a washed out way.
    • Fixes a bug that could display the Style section in the Inspector incorrectly if editing a vector with the Inspector hidden.
    • We’ve matched the miter limit for outside and inside borders to that which center borders use. This way you’ll see more predictable results when working with shapes or text with pointy edges.
    • Fixes a bug that wouldn‘t respect the Fix Size setting when using Smart Layout.
    • When opening or creating a document, we’ll now place the Mac app window in the center of your screen.
    • Fixes a bug where angular gradient fills wouldn‘t be included when exporting to SVG.
    • We’ve improved rendering accuracy for shape layers used as a mask with center or inside borders so that you always see the right opacity.
    • Fixes a bug where we would not show the distance value for the spacing between selected layers in the Inspector if the selection included a line with another layer that was positioned along the same axis as the line.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the tabs in Preferences to show unexpected window sizes.
    • Fixes a bug that wouldn‘t let you delete Components in the Components View when filtered by a search term.

    Improved Corner controls

    You now have full control of the size and style of corners in your rectangles. It’s faster than ever to adjust multiple corners at once — or focus on just a single corner — using on-Canvas and Inspector controls in our updated Sketch Mac app. Plus, we’ve added a bunch of new Corner Styles that will take your illustrations to the next level. It even works with triangles, stars, polygons and closed paths directly from the Corners panel in the Inspector!

    Introducing Components web view

    With Components web view, you can open up your libraries and make them easier for everyone to understand. You can now browse Symbols, Color Variables, Layer Styles and Text Styles, jump or search for specific components and use the menu on the left-hand side to navigate components in more detail.

    Improvements (5)

    • You can now send Workspace documents and projects you no longer need to Trash right from the Workspace window.
    • We‘ve improved the rendering of text layers and complex shapes when using inside or outside borders.
    • You can now change prototyping targets directly in the Canvas by dragging the link arrow to the Artboard you want.
    • We’ve optimized the way fonts are embedded when exporting Artboards to PDF so the size of your exported PDF is smaller.
    • Embedding fonts in Workspace documents is now much easier. When you save a document to a Workspace for the first time, or after adding new custom fonts, you can quickly select which fonts you want to embed — or all at once — with a single click. Even better, the app remembers your choice for each Workspace, so you don’t have to do this for every new document. As always, make sure that you have all the necessary licenses, rights and permissions to embed and redistribute any fonts you want to use.

    Changes (1)

    • If you‘re using Abstract, please make sure to update to their latest version to ensure everything works smoothly.

    Fixes (7)

    • Fixes a bug where a rounded corner used along a curved point could cause the Mac app to hang and use too much memory.
    • Fixes a bug in vector editing mode that would align an entire layer instead of the selected points.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the Canvas to become unresponsive when rendering shadows for complex paths.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the Mac app to become unresponsive while rendering complex combined shapes with non-intersecting paths.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause items in the sidebar bar to not display correctly if the sidebar was hidden when changing appearance mode.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause input fields to defocus when editing overrides.
    • Fixes a bug where the export options could appear clipped or could cover the folder navigation view entirely.

    Foresight

    We’ve added a feature that helps you preview the outcome of some actions. Now, when you hover over the alignment buttons at the top of the Inspector, or as you type new values in the X, Y, Width, or Height fields, you’ll see an outline on the Canvas that represents the position and dimension of the layers if you apply that alignment or value. This also works if you use the ⌥ modifier for alignment, or use math operations in the inputs.

    Improvements (6)

    • When you create your first prototype link in a document, we’ll now mark that Artboard as a Start Point, so you can easily play it in the web app.
    • You can now designate an Artboard as a start point for a Prototype through the Inspector by toggling the Set as prototype start point checkbox.
    • We’ve improved the way Sketch draws rounded corners on curved sections of a path.
    • We removed the checkbox about sharing usage analytics in Sketch because we stopped collecting this information altogether.
    • You can now upload a local Sketch document to your Workspace from the Recent Documents tab in the Workspace window by dragging it into a Project.
    • We’ve made it easier to share a prototype from local documents. Now, when you share your prototype, you’ll be prompted to save it to your Workspace so you can easily share it with everyone you need.

    Fixes (12)

    • Fixes a bug where converting Text on Path to outlines would skip over emojis.
    • Fixes a bug on macOS Monterey that could cause prototypes to not work properly if Live Text was enabled.
    • Fixes a bug where newly inserted Components would not be selected if they were inserted via the Insert menu.
    • Fixes a bug where paths would be ignored when converting Text on Path to outlines.
    • Fixes a bug where editing a Text Style would not update the text in some Symbol instances using that Text Style.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause SVG files to import incorrectly into the Mac app.
    • Fixes a rare crash that could occur after adding a new copy of an image to a document.
    • Fixes a bug where dashed borders applied to an ellipse would differ in appearance when exported to SVG.
    • Fixes a bug that wouldn’t let you scroll to the end of the Layer List.
    • Fixes an issue where images placed inside a rotated Group or Symbol could appear pixelated.
    • Fixes an issue where an image with a semi-translucent gradient fill could appear incorrectly when exported to PDF.
    • Fixes a bug where the appearance of dashed borders could change when converted to outlines.

    Foresight

    Foresight helps you preview the outcome of alignment and resizing actions on the Canvas in the latest Sketch update. Now, you’ll see an outline on the Canvas showing your shapes’ future position and dimensions. So you can quickly understand how your designs will look before you make a decision.

    Canvas view

    Canvas view in the web app allows you to preview your entire Canvas exactly as you see it on the Mac app. Instead of previewing individual Artboards, you can now pan and zoom to your heart’s content and interact with the entire flow — including elements outside of Artboards, such as notes.

    This update brings a bunch of small improvements and bug fixes, including the ability to use the width, height and position operators (w,h,x,y) as stand-ins for the width, height, x, and y of one or more selected elements.

    Improvements (4)

    • When typing a new position or dimensions in the Inspector, you can now use the operators w, h, x, and y as stand-ins for the width, height, X, and Y of the selected element(s). Try setting a rectangle’s height to w to quickly make it a square. These operators work with maths too; try setting the width to 2 * w to double the layer’s current width.
    • You can now click to select an element inside a selected Artboard without having to deselect the Artboard first.
    • Alpha masks will now match the scale and zoom values you use in the Canvas — and when exporting.
    • We’ve improved the way we display progress updates when opening a Workspace document.

    Fixes (15)

    • Fixes a bug where configuring an Artboard to have a fully transparent background color would cause the contents of the Artboard to be hidden.
    • Fixes a bug where the arrangement of characters in flipped Text Layers would be inverted when converted to outlines.
    • Fixes a bug where text could appear duplicated on the Canvas when editing text overrides with text transforms or emojis.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when scaling down images.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause certain documents not to open in the Mac app if they were saved in a much older version of the Mac app.
    • Angular gradients will now match the resolution you’ve set in your document when exporting.
    • Fixes a bug where, when using dark mode in macOS Monterey, dark Text Styles could be displayed as light text against a light background in the Components Popover.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the cursor not to update when adjusting the width of the sidebar.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause shadows within instances placed on the same page as their Symbol Source to appear clipped while editing the Source.
    • Fixes a bug where you couldn’t preview a prototype in macOS Monterey if the Live Text feature was enabled in the System Preferences.
    • Fixes a bug where fonts in Library Symbols could render differently between local and Workspace versions of the document.
    • Fixes a bug where your selection in the Layer List could display some elements incorrectly if there was no scrollbar.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when dragging export previews from the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that could mark existing Symbol instances as “missing” in some cases.
    • Fixes a bug where uploading a document to your Workspace would ignore any custom name you’d set.
