    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    In this update we’ve improved navigating layers with the keyboard by adding and exposing more shortcuts in the Edit > Select menu. We have also fixed some bugs and made improvements in Exporting and copying CSS attributes to the clipboard.

    Improvements (9)

    • You can now lock and unlock the proportions of a layer with the shortcut ⌥⌘L or the menu item Layer > Transform > Lock Proportions when resizing.
    • We’ve added shortcuts to open the grid settings sheet (⌃⌘G) and the layout settings sheet (⌃⌘L).
    • You can now select all layers, including locked and hidden ones, in the Edit > Select menu or with the shortcut ⌥⌘A.
    • We’ve added actions in the Edit > Select menu to help you navigate layers with the keyboard. We’ve also added the option to jump to the Next Artboard (End or fn →) and Previous Artboard (Home or fn ←) in the View menu.
    • Now, when you double-click on a document thumbnail in the Workspace window and don’t have editing permissions for that document, we’ll instead open it for you to view in the web app.
    • We’ve improved PNG exports, now opaque bitmaps no longer include an alpha channel.
    • You can now see emojis in other Editors’ cursors along with their name when collaborating in real-time.
    • When you enter vector editing mode, we no longer select a point by default. This way, you won’t accidentally close the shape when you then select the last point in the path.
    • When using the Duplicate or Save As commands, we’ll now set the suggested save location to be the same one as the original document.

    Changes (1)

    • When you delete a layer within a group, we now select the layer that comes after it in the hierarchy. This way, any new layer you add will be inside that group.

    Fixes (18)

    • Fixes a crash that could occur if a layer used as a mask had an effectively zero size.
    • Fixes a bug where you were able to move locked Layers with the mouse when they were selected.
    • Fixes a bug where copying CSS attributes for gradient points would list them in the wrong order.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur with frequent Canvas refreshes, such as zooming in and out of a document repeatedly.
    • Fixes a bug where fonts might not embed at all if you embedded one font after the other too quickly.
    • Fixes a bug where grouped layers using inner shadows could render incorrectly.
    • Fixes a bug where doing Select All with a multi-selection across different groups would end up selecting more elements than expected.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the Mac app to hang when trying to load a long list of overrides on some Macs.
    • Fixes a bug that would prevent you from dragging an export preview from the Inspector when its name contained a backslash.
    • Fixes a bug where an image fill could display incorrectly if you had previously reduced its size.
    • Fixes a bug that could cut off the Color Popover in the Inspector when opening it close to the bottom of the screen.
    • Fixes a bug where toolbar spacing distribution was not correctly maintained when you hid the Layer List.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the Fonts tab in the Documents Settings window to not update reliably.
    • Fixes a few bugs where copying CSS attributes could result in styles being copied with the wrong alpha values.
    • Fixes a bug where using the Zoom to Artboard command (or ⌘4) could change a layer’s opacity if you were selecting a layer outside of an Artboard.
    • Fixes an issue where, when exporting a slice with a prefix from the Layer List, the prefix would be applied as a suffix instead.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause emojis within text layers to disappear if you applied a non-solid color fill (like a gradient) to the text layer.
    • Fixes a bug where copying CSS attributes of fills that included radial or angular gradients would be incorrect.

    Workspace window

    We’ve renamed the Documents window, and made it better than ever! You can now see documents in your Workspace in a new list view. We’ve also improved the Recent Documents view, which now shows who’s editing a Workspace document and its sharing settings.

    Improvements (6)

    • If you have locked layers selected when you Select All (⌘ A) we no longer deselect them in the process.
    • You can now navigate layers from the keyboard by pressing Tab or ⇧ Tab, even when nothing is selected.
    • You can now easily detach all Symbols and Nested Symbols at once from the menu.
    • You can hold ⇧ + click to add extra elements to your selection. Now, when diving into groups, you can also hold ⇧ + double-click to reach into elements nested inside them.
    • You could always deselect your currently selected layers with the Escape key, but this would not work for groups. Now, we’ve added a proper keyboard shortcut that always works: ⌘ Esc
    • You could always step through a layer’s hierarchy on the Canvas with the Enter, Tab and Escape keys. Now, we also support multiple selections, so you can step into multiple groups at the same time.

    Fixes (15)

    • You can now right-click a selected and locked layer to bring up the contextual menu without losing your selection.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause text layers with baseline adjustments to render incorrectly.

    • We’ve fixed a bug where SVG imports containing elements with multiple fills could be parsed incorrectly.
    • We’ve improved performance when using complex groups with shadows.
    • We’ve fixed a bug that could cause shadows to take the wrong color when exporting multiple files at once.
    • We’ve fixed a bug that could cause masked layers to render differently depending on whether there was only one layer or more affected by the particular mask.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause multiple slices with the same name to overwrite each other when exporting.
    • Fixes a bug where flipped or rotated lines wouldn’t appear correctly when exporting to SVG.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the Canvas to not refresh correctly when toggling the “Ignore Underlying Mask” option after having adjusted the zoom level.
    • Fixes a bug where floating Artboard rows in the Layer List would appear fully transparent and show the layer underneath it when the Mac app was in the background.
    • Fixes a bug where Inspector values for Symbols were not cleared with Undo and could apply to new Symbols.
    • Fixes a bug where Sketch could build up too much memory over time when resizing groups.
    • Fixes an issue where, when exporting a slice with a slash in its name, the prefix would be applied to the name of the new folder rather than the name of the file.
    • Fixes a bug where copying CSS attributes for layers with 0.5px wide borders could incorrectly set the border width to 0px in the copied CSS code.

    Saving you a few clicks!

    As you know, you can dive deeper into groups by double-clicking them. In this release, we’ve made that a little bit faster. Now, after you’ve double-clicked the first group on the Canvas, quickly following up with single clicks will dive down deeper. Faster than ever!

    Improvements (4)

    • We’ve added new Artboard presets for the new Apple products.
    • When you export a document we’ll show you a little bar at the bottom of the Canvas so you can jump right to where your download is in your computer. This bar now disappears after 10 seconds and we’ll never show more than one.
    • Did you know you can use math in most text fields in Sketch? In this update, we’ve added support for exponents (aka powers) with the ^ sign.
    • We’ve improved the way Linked Data applies to nested Symbols so that you no longer have to closely mimic the layer hierarchy in your JSON file.

    Fixes (11)

    • Fixes a bug that could leave rendering artefacts on the Canvas when dragging layers with open paths.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause complex Workspace documents become unresponsive if Assistants were enabled for auto-checking while editing.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause background blur not to render with a reduced opacity.
    • Fixes a bug that could make a group of rotated layers not render correctly.
    • Fixes a bug that would update Symbols in a document when inserting out-of-sync components with nested Symbols.
    • Fixes a bug where layers using background blur and a custom blend mode would render differently from earlier versions of Sketch.
    • When flattening layers to bitmaps we now keep their original name.
    • Fixes a bug where export previews for vector formats could render blurry when dragging them out.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the selected override to lose focus after editing.
    • Fixes a bug that could show blank previews of Symbols in the Insert Window for Symbols in a Workspace document.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the Mac app to freeze when dragging a large image into a layer’s fill.

    Reveal after export

    We’re always polishing the design experience because we know the details matter. One example new in 76 is that, after you export from a document, you can now reveal those files in Finder.

    Improvements (3)

    Documents window improvements

    We’ve introduced a new Workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar in the Documents window. You can switch between Workspaces you’re a member or guest of, and only see that Workspace’s documents and projects.

    Improvements (3)

    • You can now quickly access the new Document Settings window with the keyboard shortcut ⌘ ⇧ ,
    • You can now lock or unlock the ratio of Slice layers from the Inspector.
    • You can now easily share a link to your prototype right from the Mac app for documents that live in your Workspace.

    Changes (1)

    • Hiding Hotspot and Slice Layers from your designs is only possible via the View menu now. You can no longer do this using the Layer List toggles.

    Fixes (20)

    • Fixes a crash that could occur when inserting Symbols containing programatically edited Text Styles which were missing certain properties.
    • Fixes a bug where a text layer could sometimes cause an Artboard’s background color to appear across more of the Canvas.
    • Fixes a security vulnerability related to external library feeds.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped Library updates from appearing as a notification in your document if you had previously undone a sync to apply those updates.
    • Fixes a bug where changing the Symbol Source contents would not refresh the Instance’s overrides Inspector in some cases.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped nested Symbol Instances that used Overrides with Shared Styles from updating on the Canvas if you made edits to the Shared Style that they used.
    • Fixes a bug that caused values for shadows to change unexpectedly if you reordered them in the Inspector.
    • The File > Add as Library item will now only be enabled if you have saved your document first, whether that’s in your Workspace or locally.
