What’s New

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.

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.

Download Sketch 100

Requires macOS Monterey (12.0.0) or newer

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.

Read the docs

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.

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.

Try it out

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.

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.
Fixes a bug in Smart Layout where layers in a group would move unexpectedly when editing text.
Fixes a bug that caused the Workspace dropdown to display incorrectly in macOS Sonoma.

Fixes a bug where applying styles to a Text Layer wouldn’t be applied to all the text.
When you apply data to overrides it now correctly matches the Layer List order.
When swapping a Symbol, we’ll now apply the same scaling as the origin Symbol Source.

Requires macOS Monterey (12.0.0) or newer

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 where an overlay would sometimes shift by a few pixels when viewed in the Preview window.
Fixes a bug where Color Variables used in overrides weren’t correctly imported from Libraries.
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.
