  1. Smart Layout: better directionality

    We’re hard at work on improving Smart Layout and, in this update, you’ll find that right-to-left and bottom-to-top directions now behave exactly like their reverse counterparts (left-to-right and top-to-bottom).

  2. Smart Layout: more predictable and reliable

    When you hide nested Symbol instances, we now preserve and remove spacing in a way that’s more reliable and predictable. Stay tuned for more updates!

  3. Document Libraries

    When you work with lots of Libraries, places like the Insert window can get a little crowded. So now, you can just enable the Libraries you need for specific documents—keeping only the Components you need. Best of all? Anyone who opens the document will have these libraries automatically installed and available.

  4. 2022 — that’s a wrap!

    This year we’ve been busy working on new features to give designers and the people around them better and faster ways to create their best work. But unless you’re using Sketch every day, you might’ve missed some of our big releases. So here’s a quick recap of some of the coolest improvements we’ve added to Sketch in the last 12 months.

  5. Better Symbol overrides

    Say hello to better Symbol overrides in the latest Sketch update. We’ve redesigned the Inspector panel to group overrides by type, so it’s faster to view and change things like colors, text values, Styles and nested Symbols — as well as font properties. To make things even easier, you can now double-click to dive down into Symbol instances and select individual layers within.

  6. Color overrides

    Ideate and test faster with color overrides. Whether it’s a fill, border, shadow, or text layer — you can override its color or Color Variable in the Inspector. Plus, you can now view all your colors in a grid or a list view, and hover over them to get handy information, like names or HEX values.

  7. Text property overrides

    In the latest version of Sketch, we’ve improved how text layers work with overrides. Now you can override font properties like weight, color, alignment and more within Symbol instances — no need to create a new Text Style for every font variation in your project.

  8. Easier resizing

    We always want to make the actions you carry out every day easier. So now, you can drag anywhere on the edge of an object to resize it — no need to use the resizing handles. And if you’re resizing small objects or thin lines, the selection box is now bigger, making your workflow super smooth.

  9. 38 smaller (but still sweet) Sketch improvements

    With all the big feature releases in recent months, it’s sometimes easy to miss some of the smaller (but still sweet) improvements we’ve made to Sketch along the way. So grab a coffee and take a seat as we run you through 38(!) of these little gems in less than four minutes.

  10. Duplicate documents

    We’ve added a new option to duplicate a document to your drafts folder, so you can iterate on an idea without adding updates to the original file. This works for documents in Workspaces that you’re a part of, as well as documents others share via a public link.
