What's new in Sketch 99.5

Jan 22, 2024

Almost there!: You thought this was going to be version 100, didn’t you? We thought we’d sneak in one smaller update just before it with a few fun quality-of-life improvements and the usual collection of bug fixes.
New prototype player: Playing your prototypes should now feel smoother, faster and more reliable. We’ve rolled out a brand new prototype player that works across the Mac, web and iOS apps. Plus, it also supports background blurs on Overlays and pinned elements on scrolling Artboards.
Automatic saves for Workspace documents: We now 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.
What’s improved:
We’ve tidied up the Layer menu — you’ll now find a new Symbol submenu that groups together all Symbol-related actions.
Tidy now also works on both the horizontal and vertical axes, making it even easier to align layers.
We’ve added Foresight to 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.
What’s changed:
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!

New:
Starred updates: With this release, we're introducing Starred updates. You can now highlight important updates, control who sees your document’s full version history and choose which Library updates roll out to everyone. Read our documentation to see how Starred updates work.
Linked Data: You can now use JSON files as Data sources to apply matching information to your designs. To get started, simply name layers in your document to match the keys in your JSON file. Once you’ve added your JSON file as a Data source, you’ll find it under a new Linked Data section of the Insert > Data menu. You can also choose Insert > Data and click on a Linked Data source to insert a pre-populated set of layers.
What’s improved:
When you use the Make Grid tool or handle, we’ll pay closer attention to the existing spacing between layers you’ve selected and use that wherever we can. This one is hard to describe, but it just feels more ‘right’ — try it out!
When you create a group where layers do not sit on whole pixels, we’ll make the group’s bounds fit a little tighter around that content. This only affects new groups and any existing groups you edit with this version of Sketch. This should also fix an issue where some Artboard exports were a pixel wider or taller than their original Artboard.
If you’ve asked us to flip the behaviour for holding Command and scrolling to zoom in or out, this one is for you. You’ll find the option to do just that in Sketch’s Canvas preferences. Happy scroll-zooming!
What’s changed:
We’ve updated our iOS App Icon Template to remove the mask that was being applied on exports.
When you resize multiple layers, we no longer round those individual layers to the nearest pixel. Now, they will perfectly maintain their distance between each other, instead of shifting slightly in some cases. We’ll still round the outer edges of your selection to the nearest pixel, and if you want to round each individual layer you can do this via Arrange > Round to Pixel.
Command-O will now reveal the Documents window so you can easily access documents in your Workspace(s). Shift-Command-O now opens the System’s file browser to choose a local document. You can override this in your macOS System Preferences, if you need to.
We’ve made it clearer if Components belong to your current document when you select and switch between them in the Inspector.

New in Sketch 96 (Apr 19, 2023)

New:
Resolve Annotations: You can now resolve annotations by clicking the checkmark in the annotations popover, or right-clicking any annotation marker and choosing Resolve. You can re-open a resolved annotation in the same way. Resolved annotations aren’t visible by default, but you can show them via the View menus in the menu bar or toolbar, or by pressing Control-Shift-N.
Smart Layout in groups (experimental): We’re working on bringing Smart Layout to regular groups. We still have work to do, but you can enable it right now as an experimental feature via Sketch > Experimental Features. You can learn more about the feature (and its current limitations) and share your feedback, over on our forum.
What’s improved:
Our Figma importer is now more reliable when opening big documents. Thanks for all your reports and feedback!
When you preview an overlay’s position on the Canvas, we now show you relevant content (like shadows, for example) that falls outside of the overlay’s Artboard bounds.
We’ve improved the rendering performance of previews in the Insert window and menus.
When you select a nested Symbol inside a Symbol instance, you’ll see a new Preserve space when hidden option in the Inspector. Enabling this will preserve that nested Symbol’s space if you hide it, meaning that the dimensions of the Symbol that it’s nested within won’t change if it has Smart Layout properties.
We’ve tidied up and improved the Inspector options for editing Symbol overrides, especially when it comes to using Data sources and multi-image selections.
We’ve improved the performance of flattening selections to bitmaps and trimmed PDF exports.
When you select layers inside a Symbol instance, or nested Symbols inside another Symbol, you’ll now see a dashed border around the parent instance, giving you some more visual context and a reminder that the whole instance will move if you drag your selection. Additionally, we’ll show a button to the right of the parent instance and clicking it will change your selection to that parent instance.
You can now double-click on a layer’s icon in the Layer List to quickly pan and zoom to that layer on the Canvas.
The magic wand selection tool for bitmap editing is now more reliable and predictable.
When you place or move guides, they’ll now snap to the middle point of any layer you have selected.
Let’s be honest, no-one knows what each blending mode does. To help with this, we’ve added Foresight to the blending modes menu. Now, you’ll see instant, on-canvas previews as you hover over each option. We’ve also added labels to each group of blending modes, making it easier to understand what they do.
When you’re editing a text layer on the Canvas, selecting another layer will now automatically set it to edit mode, making it easier to edit multiple text layers sequentially. We’ve also added a highlight when you hover over text layers to make it clear you can select those while in text editing mode.
The color profile of your document now always appears in the title bar under the document name. With this update, we’ve removed the notification that would appear at the bottom of the Canvas when you open a document with a color profile that differs from your default.
When you’re editing gradients, we now show more on-Canvas information, including the position of stops, Start/End labels, and values for angle, length and ratio. Switching between linear and radial gradients should now give you more predictable results, and radial gradients now resize along with their shape.
You can now hold Command and Option to measure between a selected layer and layers inside a Symbol instance. You can also hold Option to measure between layers inside a Symbol instance.
In the Inspector, you can now click anywhere on the labels of panels and subpanels to expand or collapse them, or to add a new property if none already exist.
You can now use hex color codes with alpha values in the Hex fields and the alpha value will apply to the Opacity field. For example, #FF000080 will become a color with Hex of #FF0000 and an Opacity of 50% — the last two characters represent the opacity value, with 00 being 0% and FF being 100%.
What’s changed:
When you have selected a nested Symbol inside a Symbol instance, you can delete the entire top-level Symbol instance using Command-Backspace.
Sketch no longer works with Anima v4.4.6, InVision Panels v1.5.1.513, Sympli Handoff plugin v1.4.1 or ContentSync v8.6.3. If you’re using Sketch with these plugins, please update to their latest versions.
We’ve added a new Labs pane to Sketch’s Settings window. Here, you’ll find details of experimental features to try out, along with buttons to find out more about each one and share your feedback as you try them. This new pane replaces the previous experimental features menu.
When you use Command-click to select within a Symbol, we’ll now select the entire parent Symbol if you click on a nested Symbol or shape that you’re using as background layer (i.e. one that’s the same size as the parent Symbol’s Artboard).
The default color of prototyping flows is now teal, making them easier to distinguish from other parts of the UI that use Sketch’s default tint color of orange. You can customize the colors for Guides, Measuring, and Prototyping by going to Settings > Canvas > Colors.
If you’re offline, it’s not possible to create or respond to annotations, so we now hide their markers on the Canvas until you’re back online.
We’ve changed how annotations and Artboards interact with each other, making them consistent with how layers and Artboards interact. When you create a new Artboard around an existing annotation, we will link it with that Artboard. When you move or resize an Artboard so that it covers an annotation, that annotation’s link will not change. We also now dim Annotations that are not linked with whatever is directly below them — whether that’s the Canvas or an Artboard — to make this easier to spot.
When you select a group with even spacing, which is itself inside a group with even spacing, the Smart Distribute handles will now adjust the position of your selected group and the spacing around it, instead of its contents.
Borders can now have a minimum width of 0.1, rather than 0.5, when you’re scaling layers.

New in Sketch 95.3 (Feb 20, 2023)

New in Sketch 95.2 (Feb 1, 2023)

New in Sketch 95.1 (Jan 18, 2023)

New in Sketch 95 (Jan 17, 2023)

New:
Annotations: This release brings annotations to the Mac app. Now you can pin a comment to any point on the Canvas and strike up a conversation, right where it matters. Whether you’re working in the web app or the Mac app, all of your comments and conversations will stay in sync. Want to hide Annotations and focus on your designs? Just hit ⌃n.
Import your Figma files: We’re excited to introduce this long-requested feature: you can now open .fig files in Sketch! This feature is available in beta so you may run into the odd issue (our text rendering engine treats things differently to Figma, for example). If you do, let us know and we’ll make it right — your feedback will help make the importer even better.
Workspace templates: You can now turn any document into a template that anyone in your Workspace can use — ideal for repeatable projects and keeping consistent document structures. We’ve also added a selection of beautiful, free templates to help kickstart your next project. You’ll find them all in the Workspace window (⌘O).
Document Libraries: You can now enable Libraries for a specific document instead of having them enabled for every document you’re working on, even when you may not need them. When you open a document, we’ll automatically install any Libraries enabled for it. To manage Document Libraries, go to File > Document Settings... > Libraries from any document.
What’s changed:
Sketch Runner plugin version 1.2.1 has been marked as incompatible with Sketch 95.
To keep things consistent with macOS Ventura, we’ve renamed the app’s Preferences window and menu item — it’s now called ‘Settings’. You can still access Settings by pressing ⌘,.
We’re phasing out the old Mirror app in early 2023 — but you’ll still be able to mirror via our new iPhone app. Running Mirror will now show an alert about the phase-out, along with a link to more details.
What’s improved:
If your search for a document yields no results, you’ll now see a ‘No documents found’ message.
We’ve improved rendering performance in prototype flows.
If you have Pixel Fitting disabled, Canvas tooltips will now always show two decimal places. If Pixel Fitting is enabled while you adjust lines, the tooltip’s line length value will no longer jitter as it alternates between whole numbers and those with decimals.
We’ve improved our rendering performance by switching our architecture to one scene graph per document, updated for each frame of rendering.
In text layers, Width and Height fields in the Inspector now reflect whether your text layer is Auto Width, Auto Height or Fixed Size. Their values are placeholders, so you can still enter your own fixed values.
Did you know that when you use the Text tool (T), you can click on other text layers to edit them? We’ve made this easier to spot — now, when the Text tool is active, you’ll see an underlined hover state as you move your cursor over other text layers.
Selection boxes for hidden objects are now dashed, so it’s easier to distinguish them from a visible layer in the same spot.
You can now manage sharing settings for documents and projects in your Workspace: invite others, make documents public, or change download, inspect and commenting permissions. In the Workspace window, right-click a document or project and choose Share.... While you’re editing a document, go to File > Share… — or click on the overflow menu ••• above Collaboration and select Share Document....
We’ve increased the hit area for corner resize handles from 6 x 6 to 12 x 12 pixels on high-density displays, making them easier to grab. The handles’ visible size is unchanged.
We’ve tweaked the visibility of on-Canvas handles when you select an object inside a tidy group, giving you better feedback on your actions. When you hover any Smart Distribute handle, the corner radius handles disappear. When you grab a Smart Distribute handle, all other handles disappear. When you hover a corner radius handle, all Smart Distribute handles disappear.
You can now define what Sketch should do every time you distribute layers but it’s impossible to do it evenly on full pixels. Instead of being asked every time, tick the Don’t ask me again checkbox in the alert, which you can change again via Sketch > Settings… > Layers in the ‘When Distributing‘ setting. This only applies if Pixel Fitting is enabled.

New in Sketch 94.1 (Nov 9, 2022)

New in Sketch 94 (Oct 25, 2022)

What’s new:
Selecting layers in Symbol instances
Use Command-click to quickly select overridable layers inside Symbol instances, like text, colors or nested Symbols. Then, use the Overrides panel in the Inspector to override any of them. Paired with our new updates to Symbol overrides in the Inspector, we hope this powerful new toolset really supercharges your Symbols workflow.
Easier layer resizing
We’ve made it easier to resize layers. Firstly, you can now resize horizontally or vertically by just dragging at any point along the edge of the selection box. Secondly, if a selection is too small to to resize comfortably, the selection box will appear slightly larger to make it easier to drag its edges. The selection width and height will now appear as soon as you hover over its edges or resize handles. We’ve also removed the resize handles along the edges of a selection, leaving them only on the four corners.
Text and Layer Style Overrides
You can now override the key properties of Text and Layer Styles within a Symbol — no need to create multiple Style variants anymore.
Color Overrides
Override all the colors! You can now override the color of any layer inside a Symbol with another color or a Color Variable.
Supercharging your Symbols workflow
We’ve redesigned the overrides panel in the Inspector to make it faster and easier than ever to work with Symbol instances. The new panel groups overrides by type, making it simple to view and change colors, images, Text and Layer Styles in your Symbol instance — all at once. We’ve also improved how we show nested Symbols in an instance — it should all feel neater now.
What’s improved:
When converting a shape to outline we’ll respect any non-border elements, like fills or shadows.
You can now rotate lines by holding ⌘ and dragging the resize handles, just like you can with other layers.
You can now edit a text layer in a Symbol directly on the Canvas. Hover over the text layer, press T, click on it and type away.
You can now hide and show nested Symbols as you would with any other layer — hitting backspace will hide the nested Symbol instead of deleting it.
You can now copy any layer inside a Symbol instance and paste it elsewhere. This means we’ll also copy its overrides, making things faster — no need to detach or head to the Source Symbol.
If you type new values for colors in the color popover, the values are now applied when you click elsewhere to dismiss the popover.
We’ve updated the design of our selection box. It now uses the app’s accent color, making it easier to see selected layers (particularly when selecting multiple shapes and Artboards). Selected layers inside Symbol instances now display X markings on their corners and a thicker border to differentiate them from normal layers.
Press ⌘⌃ to select any layer inside a Symbol.
When diving into a Symbol, you’ll find your selection and a tailored list of its overrides in the Inspector.
The Layer List now shows every layer in a Symbol (rather than just those that have styles applied) — go ahead and change the properties of layers that aren’t Symbols or don’t have any Style applied.
What’s changed:
We’ve changed how double-clicking on Symbols works. Instead of taking you to its Source, you’ll dive deeper into a Symbol. To go to the Symbol Source, press ⌘↵ or click Edit Source in the Inspector.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a bug where a group with a shadow applied and a single shape might not export the shadow.
Fixes an issue when using the Mac app on macOS Ventura Beta where the labels of pop-up buttons in the Inspector wouldn’t appear.
Fixes a crash that could happen when adding a prototype link to a really large group.
Fixes a crash that could occur when picking a Tint or adjusting Color Variables.
Fixes a bug where converting a shape to outlines could sometimes move it slightly on the Canvas or remove its rotation or flip.
When you hover or drag the resize handles of a line layer, you’ll now see a tooltip with its length. If you hold the ⌘ key as you hover over the handle, you’ll see the angle of the line.
We’ve fixed a memory leak that would occur when closing documents after having inserted or copy-pasted bitmaps.
Fixes an issue where you were unable to move selected shapes with borders but no fills by dragging on the non-filled area.
Fixes an issue where interactions within Symbols could not have their override set to ‘none‘.
Fixes an issue where dropping an image onto the Canvas with a selected Artboard would ignore the position where you dropped it.
Fixes an issue where overlay previews weren‘t being displayed correctly if the overlay was an Auto Link target.
Fixes a bug that wouldn‘t let you move overlays around the Canvas if the interaction was on a text layer.
Fixes an issue where overlays with shadows or blurs that expanded outside of the Artboard weren‘t rendering correctly.
Fixes a bug where detaching a Symbol containing nested instances with scaled text would reset the text to its original size.
Fixes a Smart Layout issue where, when using an instance of a Symbol which contained another Symbol with overrides set to “No Symbol”, changing those overrides back to a Symbol would not respect their position in the source of the contained Symbol.

New in Sketch 92 (Aug 24, 2022)

New in Sketch 91 (Aug 4, 2022)

New:
Duplicate Documents: You can now duplicate Workspace documents to your drafts, right from the Workspace window. You’ll find this option by right/Control-clicking on a document’s thumbnail. When you duplicate a document, it won’t include any comments, version history or specific share settings, so you’ll have a clean slate to iterate from without disturbing the original design. You can also duplicate documents in the web app, including ones outside your Workspace that others have shared via a public link.
Align to reference object: With this release, we’re giving you even more control over how you align multiple selections of layers. Now, you can click on any layer within a multi-layer selection to make it the reference object. When you use the alignment controls in the Inspector, all the layers within your selection will now align to that reference object. You can click on any other layer in your selection to make that the new reference object, or click again on the current reference object to deselect it.
What’s improved:
If you select a single layer and use the alignment controls in the Inspector, it will now align to its immediate parent (whether that’s a group, Artboard or combined shape). If you want to align a single layer to its Artboard rather than its immediate parent, hold down the ⌥ (Option) key.
The Workspace window now supports selecting multiple documents at the same time, making it easier for you to open, move and delete them in bulk.
You can now switch between the Design and Prototype tabs in the Inspector using the keyboard shortcuts Shift-Command-1 and Shift-Command-2, respectively. You’ll also find these options in the View menu.
We’ve made it easier to move shapes that have borders but no fills. You can now drag anywhere on that shape, including the non-filled area, to move it, rather than just on the border itself.
We've improved the accuracy of Shadows for paths with wider borders.
You can now adjust the Spread value for Shadows applied to text layers.
We now support negative spread values for inner shadows.
What’s changed:
Version 261 of the Abstract plugin has been marked as incompatible with Sketch because it is causing instability. Please update to the latest version of the plugin when available.
We’ve given color profiles a clean-up. Previously, we’d render Unmanaged documents based on your display’s settings, but exported them as sRGB. Now, we both render on the Canvas and export using the sRGB color profile by default (the Unmanaged setting is gone), unless you set your default color profile to P3 in the Canvas preferences.

New in Sketch 90 (Jul 13, 2022)

New in Sketch 89 (Jun 16, 2022)

New:
Artboard Templates: You can now turn any Artboard — and its content — into a template. Artboard Templates behave like any other Component, so you can share them as part of Libraries and reuse them across documents. When you select an Artboard, you’ll see the option to use it as a template in the Inspector. We’ve replaced the default Artboard Presets with a new Default Artboard Templates Library, and included a new Artboard Template Inspiration Library to show you what else they can do. Any custom Artboard Presets you created will migrate to Artboard Templates and appear as their own Library, too.
What’s improved:
We’ve added a presence popover to the grid view in the Workspace window. We always had this in the list view, but now it appears in the grid view, too. Hovering over the Editor’s name below the document’s name will show you everyone currently editing or viewing, or who last updated it.
You can now lock and unlock the proportions of an Artboard using the control between the Width and Height inputs in the Inspector, just like regular Layers.
You can now use all types of Layers (including images) as Alpha Masks. When you set a Layer to act as a Mask, Sketch will apply the most appropriate type of mask to use based on the Layer type and its fills.
We’ve added a Reset Ruler Origins option to the contextual menu when you Control-Click on the rulers. This option always existed in the View menu, but now it appears in the contextual menu, too.
When you create or duplicate an Artboard, we now place it below the current or original Artboard in the Layer List. This means Artboards will be arranged top-to-bottom, as you create them.
We’ve improved the appearance of read-only input fields in the Inspector to distinguish them from disabled fields.
Using Command-D to duplicate an Option-dragged Artboard will use the same offset for the duplicates. This was always the case for Layers, now it works for Artboards as well.
You can now access the Convert Symbol to Artboard option from the contextual menus when you have selected a Symbol source.
You can now use the keyboard to input double-digits to more accurately adjust the relative position of gradient stops for any Gradient fill in the Inspector.

New in Sketch 88.1 (May 26, 2022)

New in Sketch 88 (May 23, 2022)

New prototype player: We’ve been hard at work on some big improvements to Prototyping and it starts with this — a completely rewritten prototype player. With it, playing your prototypes should feel smoother, faster and more reliable. It also lays the groundwork for some great new features and improvements — look out for those in an upcoming update.
What’s improved:
You can now choose Auto Link to Right Artboard from the Prototype menu and create a link from your current Artboard, to the one immediately to the right of it. Better still, it will update dynamically and automatically if you switch the order of your Artboards. To link to the left Artboard instead, simply change the Artboard Export option under Preferences > Layers.
You can now use Command-Shift-D to duplicate a layer below the original. You can also hold Shift to access this option from the Edit menu. To move a layer you have selected from behind another layer, hold Option and Command then drag anywhere on the canvas.
We’ve added a new option to snap to quarter pixels when you’re working in vector editing mode. We also revamped its Inspector control — the new segmented control makes it easier to set a pixel snapping option and see which one you have selected.
When you export a single item, we now show its filename in the notification at the bottom of the window.
In the Save dialog, Command-Shift-D and Command-D now will set your Mac’s Desktop as the save location.
We’ve tweaked the heading styles and dividers in the Inspector to make each section’s hierarchy easier to understand.
You can now paste an image from another app directly onto a shape in Sketch to use it as an Image fill. You’ll find the Paste Image as Fill option by control-clicking on the Fills panel under Styles in the Inspector.
What’s changed:
We’ve updated the shortcut for Refresh Data. You will now need to use Control-Shift-D to refresh the Data on a selected layer.
We’ve updated the copy and changed a few things in the Libraries preferences panel. Now, to enable a Library, you can simply check the checkbox next to its name.

New in Sketch 87.1 (May 11, 2022)

New in Sketch 87 (May 10, 2022)

What’s improved:
You can now link to any Artboard even when you have multiple layers and Artboards selected.
We‘ll now show a prompt when enabling a plugin that‘s incompatible with the Mac app.
Now, when you hover over an Artboard’s name on the Canvas, we’ll show you a tooltip with its full name — ideal for Artboards with long titles.
We now support blurred alpha masks — try them out!
You can now use the Sides slider to set a polygon‘s minimum number of sides (three).
Leave the math to us — now, it’s faster than ever to precisely position a layer relative to an Artboard’s edge. For example, if you want to place a layer 10 pixels away from the right edge of its Artboard you just need to set its X value to 10r. Use the l, r, t, b, and c/m operators in the X or Y fields to position them at the exact number of pixels from the left, right, top, bottom, and center/middle of the Artboard they’re in.
The Libraries preferences panel now shows when a Library is using a starred version and when it was last modified.
Did you know that when you copy something in the Mac app, you can paste it into another app as an image? Now, if you have a high-density display, we‘ll export these images in 2x resolution, so they look sharp.
It’s now easier than ever to know what the status of a layer is in the Layer List. Now, when you hover over a visible layer, the Hide Layer icon reflects the layer’s visibility state. Similarly, if the layer is unlocked and you hold ⌥, the Lock Layer icon reflects the lock state.
What’s changed:
We’ve made things more predictable when you insert a Symbol instance that contains a nested Symbol with Smart Layout properties that you have resized in the Symbol source. Now, the nested Symbol will keep its resized dimensions in both the Symbol source and instance.
We’ve made things more predictable when you resize a Symbol or Group that contains text layers with resizing constraints and auto width alignment properties. Previously, if the resizing constraints and alignment properties conflicted, resizing would change the alignment property to auto height or cause the text to flow outside of layer’s bounds. Now we block conflicting resizing restrictions and alignment properties to avoid these results.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a bug where the background blur wouldn‘t appear in translucent layers with an opaque fill.
Fixes a bug where the Mac app would continue using system memory after you closed a document.
We now remember the position of the Preferences window, so it always opens where you last left it.
If you have a page selected, you can now rename a page via Edit > Rename or pressing ⌘R.
Fixes a bug where editing a Symbol Source’s content would not update any overrides in deeply nested instances until you reopened the document.

New:
Rendering and performance improvements: This release includes a whole host of rendering and performance improvements. Lots of them are subtle, but they all add up to a better experience. You’ll notice things feel more responsive when you move Symbols and Nested Symbols around the canvas, as well as during exports and saving documents to your Workspace.
Data improvements: We’ve added a new option to the Data menu to choose whether data you insert is picked at random or not. If you uncheck this Insert Data at Random option, Data you insert will follow the order in its source file. We’ve also added support for nested data within Linked Data (JSON) sources. Nested data from a Linked Data source will appear inside a group when you add it to your canvas.
What’s improved:
You’ll now see image shadows at all zoom levels, where previously they’d disappear as you zoomed in close.
We heard from a few of you who really missed the dedicated zoom controls in the Big Sur toolbar, so we’ve brought them back! You’ll be able to add them by Control-clicking on your toolbar and choosing Customize Toolbar….
We’ve added an @3x option for flattening bitmaps to the Layer preferences panel.
Fixes a bug where a layer with a blur with a 0.5 radius would appear unblurred.
We’ve added a new set of shortcuts for aligning layers. ⌃⌘ and your arrow keys now align layers left, right, top or bottom. ⌃⌘V or ⌃⌘H align layers vertically or horizontally. Add the ⌥ modifier to any of those shortcuts to align layers within an Artboard.
What’s changed:
We’ve given the Assistants UI and layout a fresh lick of paint for Big Sur.
Hey night owls, we’ve made a few tweaks to some colors in dark mode. Nothing major, but subtle things that add up to a more pleasant experience. Enjoy!
We’ve made some changes to how we generate outside borders which improves things for complex shapes.
We’ve tweaked the copy in our notifications to make it clearer when Library and Component updates are available.
We’ve increased the size of Artboard names on the Canvas so they should be easier to read from a distance now.
What’s fixed:
This release fixes a number of bugs that caused issues with Component and Library updates. This includes seeing a Component/Library update notification when there were none available, not seeing a notification when there were updates available, and being unable to update Components/Libraries. Thanks for all your reports and we’re sorry for the impact that this has had on your workflows!

A fresh look for macOS Big Sur:
With this release, we’re excited to introduce a UI redesign that fits right in with the new macOS Big Sur design language. It’s the same Sketch you know and love, but with every detail reconsidered — from a full-height sidebar, to a refreshed Inspector, and all-new iconography throughout the app.
The biggest change you’ll notice is the toolbar. To make room for Big Sur’s new inline document titles, we’ve introduced a new default toolbar and combined some items to keep things clean and uncluttered. As ever, you can change your toolbar items at any time by heading to View > Customize Toolbar….
If you can’t upgrade to Big Sur just yet, don’t worry. We’ve spent time making sure that things still look and feel great in older versions of macOS.
What’s improved:
Alongside our Big Sur redesign, we’ve improved the contrast between different parts of our UI if you have relevant macOS Accessibility settings enabled.
You can now alter between the grid view and list view once again for Color Variables in the popover
There’s now an option to insert Data sources as new layers from the Insert menu. And, when you select a layer that uses Data, you’ll see a new Data icon in the Inspector. Click on that to refresh that layer’s Data source or pick a new one.
We’ve made it quicker and easier to repeat and create grids from layers. Simply select two or more layers and drag on the new handle that appears in the bottom-right corner of your selection.
What’s changed:
The controls for the Make Grid tool (Arrange > Make Grid) now appear in their own view in the Inspector instead of a sheet that appears over your Canvas.
On macOS Big Sur, we’ve combined the view and zoom toolbar items to keep things tidy. The same options are still there, just together in one place. On older versions of macOS, you’ll continue to see these as two separate items.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a performance bug that, when many Libraries were enabled, could cause lag when dragging layers over a Symbol Source in the Symbols page.
Fixes a bug that caused local documents you uploaded to Cloud to lose their link if you didn’t save the document immediately after the upload. This also affected documents you saved to third-party storage services like Dropbox, Box or iCloud Drive.
Fixes an issue that caused some bitmaps to appear blurry when you exported them.
Fixes a bug that stopped you from adding Assistants that had particularly long URLs (or located in lots of nested folders). This fix does mean you’ll need to reinstall any Assistants you had previously added — luckily you can do this in a couple of clicks from the Manage Assistants… sheet.

Color Variables: We’re excited to introduce this long-requested feature and one of the final building blocks for a comprehensive design system in Sketch. When you apply a Color Variable to a fill, border or anywhere you can apply solid colors, they’ll stay linked. If you edit a Color Variable, you’ll see that change reflected across every part of your document that uses it. Color Variables replace solid color presets and when you open a document we’ll automatically convert any existing color presets that belong to it. You’ll see the option to create a new Color Variable in the Color Popover.
Components View (Beta): The Components View is a new home for your document’s local Symbols, Text and Layer Styles, and Color Variables. By bringing them together and giving them the space they deserve, we’ve made it easier for you to keep them organized and adjust their properties. In other words, there’s finally a proper place to preview and edit your text and layer styles — and that’s just the start.
Insert Window: Alongside the Components View, we’re introducing a new, separate Insert Window that makes finding and inserting components faster than ever. It brings together all of the Symbols, Text and Layer Styles, and Color Variables from your enabled Libraries, and displays them with beautiful, big previews that make browsing easy. Simply press c on your keyboard to open it, start typing to search for the component you need, then drag and drop it onto your Canvas.
What’s improved:
We’ve added support for Color Variables to the Sketch JavaScript API, so if you’re building plugins or integrations, you can support it, too!
Re-ordering layers in grid arrangements, by dragging on their circular center handle, now works in a more natural way. Layers will shift around automatically to avoid adding an extra row or column.
When you use the Offset Path tool, we’ll temporarily show you an outline of the original path to give you a better sense of scale.
You can now use the Make Grid tool to reduce the size of existing grids.
What’s changed:
We've adjusted our Android Artboard presets, fixing some viewport sizes and adding the latest Pixel and Galaxy devices.
When you drag layers, we now use a smarter approach to align them to pixels. This should keep layers aligned more in the way you'd expect, especially for lines.
As part of an industry-wide change with Figma and Adobe, we’ve renamed Symbol masters throughout the app. We now refer to a Symbol master as a Symbol Source.
There’s now an optional toolbar icon available for the Offset Path tool. We’ve also added it to the Tools item.
We’ve been tidying things up ready for a certain operating system update and have moved the controls for Offset Path (Layer > Path > Offset…). You’ll now see the controls in the Inspector instead of a sheet at the top of the Canvas whenever you use it.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a crash that could occur if you were editing a bitmap layer and using the eyedropper tool.
Fixes a bug that caused some of the borders of an instance that had been previously rotated to not always show when fitting an Artboard to it.
Fixes a crash that could occur when pasting a layer with invalid text attributes from an old document or from a document that was created with a third-party app.
Fixes a bug that wouldn't show the correct Library source in the Components Popover for Text or Layer Styles that were part of a Library that was duplicated.
Fixes a bug that caused high CPU usage when you were viewing layers with blurred shadows.
Fixes a bug that stopped color properties from showing in the Find and Replace Color sheet.
Fixes a bug that meant bitmaps would not always look sharp at lower zoom levels.
Fixes a bug that caused unexpected antialiasing differences on Symbol instances with clipping masks compared with detached versions of that Symbol.
Fixes a bug that could change the coordinates of a line when you adjusted the size of the Artboard it belonged to.
Fixes a bug that caused overrides to reset or be unavailable when you reopened some documents.
Fixes a bug that meant you could set a guide to -0, which felt a little odd, if we’re honest.
Fixes a bug that meant values in the Layout Settings sheet would not always display correctly when confirming, canceling or tabbing through the sheet fields.
Fixes a crash that could occur if you pressed the tab key in an empty value field while you were creating Custom Artboard Preset.
Fixes a bug where changing opacity of a Tint on a Symbol instance would not always work reliably.
Fixes various bugs affecting the Text on Path feature to make it more reliable.

Say Hello To Assistants: With this release, we’re introducing Assistants — a helping hand for your designs. Assistants can automatically check your documents to help you spot issues, stay consistent with design systems, prepare your files for collaboration, and follow your team’s rules. You can find out more, discover and download Assistants in the new Assistants Directory, or read our documentation to see how they work.
What’s improved:
In the last release we made sure you could upload, rename and delete Cloud documents from the Documents window. And with this release, you can add, rename and remove Cloud projects from the sidebar in the Documents window, too!
What’s changed:
We’ve tweaked the copy in the Cloud upload popover to better explain what happens when you create a new upload of an existing document.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a crash that could occur as you edited a document that used blurs with a particularly large blur radius.
Fixes a bug where applying a color preset to a text layer would not instantly refresh the preview in the color popover.
Fixes a bug that meant the Touch Bar would not display the save dialog options correctly.
Fixes a bug that caused the settings icon for Fill properties to stay in its highlighted state.
Fixes an issue where the color popover for Tints would not close when you clicked in the color well.
Fixes a bug in boolean operations where curved segments intersecting more than one line could incorrectly ignore those intersections.
Fixes a bug where adjusting gradient stops in the color popover via the arrow keys would change the selection to the first gradient point and move that instead.
Fixes a bug where nested overrides in existing Symbol instances would appear as available for editing, even if you had made them unavailable for editing on the Symbol master within a Library. This bug did not affect new instances, and this fix means existing instances will also show accurate override options.
Fixes a bug where moving the app window between Retina and non-Retina displays could cause the Canvas to render in the wrong resolution.
Fixes a bug where signing in to a Sketch account on one Mac might sign you out on another Mac connected to the same iCloud Keychain. The bug fix only applies if you are running macOS 10.15 or newer.
Fixes a bug that meant some document versions you saved would get stuck while they were processing on Cloud.

Performance Improvements: We’re working hard to speed things up across the app and this release includes a few key updates. We’ve cleaned up our code around Symbols so working with them (especially in complex documents) should feel a lot more responsive. We’ve also fixed some particular performance bottlenecks around shadows and layers with background blur and saturation. There are a lots of small changes here, but they all add up to a smoother, faster Sketch.
Embed Fonts in Documents: With this release, we’re introducing the option to embed font files in individual documents. You can do this in any document by choosing Text > Document Fonts… and selecting the fonts you want to embed. Embedding fonts makes it easier to share documents with others and ensures that text layers render accurately — even if they don’t have the right fonts installed. It also ensures text layers render correctly whenever you view your documents on Cloud.
What’s improved:
We’ve made Select All smarter and more context-aware. By default, it now selects all layers in your current group. Using Select All again will extend that selection to layers in the next group up. Using Select All with an Artboard selected will select all Artboards instead. When you’ve select layers from two or more Artboards, Select All will select the contents of all Artboards.
You can now use Smart Distribute and Tidy with selections of layers that are both outside and inside of groups.
We've made some performance improvements for documents with lots of Slices, particularly when you’re zoomed in on content.
You can now rename Cloud documents from the comfort of the Documents window. Double-click on the name under the document’s thumbnail, or right-click on it and choose Rename.
For our developer friends, we’ve added a new --suffixing option for the Sketchtool export layers command. Using this option makes it possible to export non-uniquely named layers without one overwriting the other.
We’ve improved the error message you’ll see in the Documents window when Cloud documents can’t load because of a bad connection.
You can now right-click on any thumbnail in the Documents window and choose Delete Document… — or hit the backspace key — to delete it.
We’ve saved you a click when it comes to creating Cloud Libraries. You can now choose File > Add as Library to turn any Cloud document into a Cloud Library directly from the Mac app.
You can now drag-and-drop local documents into the Documents window to save them to Cloud. We’ll show a save dialog to confirm exactly which workspace and project you want to save to. If you drag a document into the Libraries view for a personal or team workspace, that document will automatically become a Library.
Using emoji in your text layers no longer stretches the line height and vertical rhythm of your layers. 🙌 So you can sprinkle emoji wherever you want, and everything will still align perfectly. 🎉
What’s fixed:
We’ve tweaked the size and spacing of the fill mode buttons in the color picker. That might not seem release note-worthy, but we did it to make room for an exciting update coming soon. That’s all we’re saying for now.
Fixes a bug that stopped changes to the Visuals option in Layout Settings showing up on the Canvas until you also changed the color.
Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to become unresponsive when you opened a nested Symbol overrides menu that contained a large number of options.
Fixes a bug that meant Sketch 66 would use a small amount of CPU while open in the background.
Fixes a bug where holding Z and drawing a selection on the Canvas (to zoom in on that selection) would leave the selection showing after the zoom, instead of clearing it immediately.
Fixes a crash that could occur in the Save Document dialog if you selected the Other… file location with the filename left empty.
Fixes a bug that meant overridden text in Symbols wouldn't display as expected when fonts were missing.
Fixes a bug that caused the Canvas to freeze if you zoomed in and out while inserting a Symbol from the Insert menu.
Fixes a bug that caused the recursive Symbols warning to display incorrectly.
Fixes a bug where resizing a document window would cause lag and unexpected scaling of layers on the Canvas.
Fixes a bug that stopped lines correctly snapping to their start points when you inserted them.
Fixes a bug that meant detaching a Symbol recursively could result in missing metadata. This one may have caused issues for plugins and integrations. We now store the metadata containing information about which Symbol an instance got detached from, and its frame, in the userInfo property of the detached group.
Fixes a bug that meant we would not always reliably remember whether you had expanded or collapsed groups, Artboards or Symbols in the Layer List.
Fixes a bug that caused horizontal and vertical lines to move unexpectedly within the Layer List when you changed their position on the Canvas using the arrow keys.
Fixes a bug that caused the Documents window to appear in a frozen state when you opened a document by dragging it onto the Sketch icon.

New:
Bug Fixes and Improvements: We’re busy putting the finishing touches on some very exciting upcoming releases, so we’ve taken a step back with this one to focus on some important bug fixes and key improvements that all add up to a better experience.
What’s improved:
We've made uploads for large Cloud documents much more reliable over slower network connections. If you’ve been seeing errors that said Sketch couldn’t connect to the internet when you were certain you were online, this release should fix that.
If you’ve struggled to see a black or white Symbol clearly in the Components Panel or Menu, we’ve got you covered with this release. Symbol previews now show the background color you’ve applied to their master (if you’ve set one) or a black or white background that makes them easier to spot.
We’ve renamed the Prototyping Menu to “Prototype” to keep things consistent and tidy.
Behind the scenes, we’ve been working hard to improve performance in the app. If you’re working with very complex documents, you may feel the benefit of some of these improvements with this update. There’s plenty more to come, though, so expect things to feel snappier and smoother soon.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a bug that could cause an older version of a Cloud document to open instead of a newer one you’d worked on.
Fixes a bug that caused text layers with custom character spacing to display gradient fills incorrectly.
Fixes a bug that would stop you from adding a Library from Cloud that had a forward slash (/) in its name.
Fixes a bug that caused the Magic Wand selection to appear upside down and mirrored on the Canvas.
Fixes a bug that caused a few different issues with Symbol overrides, including overrides changing unexpectedly after Library updates, overrides removing themselves when you renamed a Layer in a Symbol master, and Libraries taking longer than they should to update. Working with Symbol overrides should feel a little faster now, too.
One for our plugin developer friends: We’ve removed and ended support for our legacy Javascript API (v1.0). Most plugins already use our current API, which you’ll find details of on our developer website.
Fixes a bug that stopped you from making layers exportable if your selection included a Hotspot layer.
Fixes a bug that stopped you from applying blending modes to text fills.
Fixes a bug that meant you couldn’t override or manage Layer Styles that included Tints from Symbol masters or instances.
Fixes a bug that meant groups or Symbols with tints could lose their colors when you exported them as SVGs.
Fixes a bug that would cause some filled layers with borders or shadows to have oddly curved edges.
Fixes a bug that stopped the Original Size button from enabling immediately after you resized a bitmap layer (you’d have to change selection for it to enable itself, but no more!).
Fixes a crash that could occur during/after Library updates or when you edited items in the Components Panel.

New in Sketch 65.1 (May 4, 2020)

New in Sketch 65 (May 4, 2020)

New Prototyping Scroll Effects: With this release, we’re introducing a “Maintain scroll position after click” option that preserves the position of scrolling Artboards after you click on a prototype link. With it, you can create overlay-style elements and state changes that feel more natural and don’t interrupt your flow.
What’s improved:
We’ve also updated our iOS app — Mirror — with support for the new prototyping scroll effect behaviour, along with compatibility improvements for iOS 13 and a few bug fixes. You can get the update from the App Store.
Previously we capped the number of Cloud projects in the sidebar of the Documents window at 20, but that felt a little limiting. Now, there’s no limit at all, so you’ll see all of your projects right where you need them.
We’ve added a new option to the export settings for groups to Trim Transparent Pixels. When it’s enabled, any transparent pixels around the layers in your group won’t show in any exported asset.
We’re doing some Spring cleaning and tidying up our code, so creating Symbols and working with them should feel a little faster now.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a crash that could occur when previewing certain prototypes.
Fixes a crash that could occur if you selected the option to retry uploading a Cloud document while offline.
Fixes a bug that meant you couldn’t always use commas as decimals in different input fields. If you’re a commas-as-decimals type of person, we’ve got you covered now.
Fixes a bug that meant we would not always reliably remember whether you had expanded or collapsed groups and Artboards in the Layer List.
Fixes a couple of bugs that affected the appearance and behaviour of both the individual Edit button and Tools menu toolbar items.
Fixes a bug that meant Guides wouldn't update to reflect a color you changed them to in Preferences until you moved your cursor over them on the Canvas. Now they’ll update right away, no cursor movements required.
Fixes a bug that caused elements of the UI to overlap if you named and saved a script as a plugin.
Fixes a bug that meant you’d have to hit Undo twice to revert a change to a Prototyping link’s destination.
Fixes a bug that caused shadows with blurs to render incorrectly when you dragged them around the Canvas.
Fixes a bug where a Symbol instances that contained a nested Symbol with Smart Layout might unexpectedly resize to their master’s size when you applied an override.
Fixes an issue that caused some Symbols with masks to render incorrectly.
Fixes a bug where you couldn’t click and drag to create a curved point on the very first first point you inserted with the Vector tool.
Fixes a bug where Rulers would not immediately update their color if you switched between dark and light mode in Preferences.
Fixes a bug that caused the Insert menu to stay enabled and selectable in certain cases, even without a document open — spooky.
Fixes a bug where the Export All option in the Export Sheet would toggle but not actually change anything.
Fixes a bug where selecting multiple layers with different Styles would not update the Inspector correctly or apply a style to all.
Fixes a bug that caused prototype transitions to play twice in some cases.

New in Sketch 64 (Mar 23, 2020)

New:
Better Search: Searching for Symbols and styles is now easier and more intuitive. Fuzzy search is here, which means you no longer have to type the exact name of a Component to find what you need. We’ve also cleaned up the results to make it easier to scan through, and we’ve moved the search bar to the top of the the Components Panel, Layer List and Components Menu.
Introducing Tints: With Tints, you can change the color of an entire Symbol or group, without relying on complex workarounds and multiple Layer Styles. They’re also easy to override, which makes them great for creating icons with multiple states. Tints work best with single-color Symbols and groups that make use of multiple opacities, like icons or tabs in a menu. You’ll find the new Tints option under the Style heading in the Inspector when you select any Symbol or group.
Components Menu Improvements: Based on your feedback, we’ve completely redesigned the Components Menu to once again use the fly-out menus that you know and love. We’ll still make it easy to switch between Components from the same group and search for Components from every Library in your document, but for those of you who preferred the old menus, we’re happy to say that we've brought them back.
What’s improved:
We’ve updated the Artboard presets for Chromebooks to cover the Pixel Slate (1333 x 888) and Pixelbook (1200 x 800).
Love Symbols? Like shortcuts? Then this one is for you! We’ve introduced a few new shortcuts around Symbols, specifically Command + Y for Create Symbol, Command + Shift + Y for Detach from Symbol, and Command + Option + Shift + Y for Detach all contents from Symbol.
Images you insert using the Unsplash data plugin are now smaller (@2x, instead of @4x) to keep your documents small and save on bandwidth. The search field supports special characters now, too.
If you’re working on a document with lots of Symbols or you’re using Smart Layout, things should feel a little faster and more responsive.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a crash that could occur when you edited a Symbol with shared Styles in Libraries.
Fixes a bug that meant you could not disable snapping by holding the Command key when you dragged a Component from Components panel onto the Canvas.
Fixes a bug that meant you couldn’t always access the Data menu for some Symbol overrides.
Fixes a bug that meant you couldn’t adjust the width of the sidebar in the Documents window.
Fixes a bug that meant some Data source plugins wouldn’t appear in Symbol override menus.
Fixes a bug that could mean Symbols you scaled would show text at an incorrect size or clip their text layers as you zoomed in or out.
Fixes a bug where Symbol instances would link themselves to the wrong Library if they were from a Library you had duplicated and edited.
Fixes a reoccurring bug that causes the color of text layers to change unexpectedly. There are a few different causes of this and we think we’ve caught them all this time.
Fixes a bug where List Options for text layers would be missing if you were using Sketch with macOS 10.15 (Catalina).

New in Sketch 63.1 (Feb 13, 2020)

New in Sketch 63 (Feb 11, 2020)

New:
Faster Cloud uploads: With this release, uploading documents to Cloud should become a lot faster and feel a lot smoother. We're doing all the hard work on our servers instead of on your Mac now, so if you've ever had your fans spin up during an upload, this should put a stop to that too.
What’s improved:
Be honest, how many times have you searched for, “Facebook cover image size 2020” already this year? To save you some time, this release includes social media Artboard presets for a whole range of platforms.
Instead of only being able to click on the disclosure arrows to open and close Library tabs in the Components popover, you can now click on the whole Library name.
Layers and Components with truncated names will now show you a tooltip with their full name when you hover over them in the Layer List and Components Panel/Popover.
When you select Other… from the Location menu when you save a document, we now show you the standard macOS save panel, making it easier to do things like picking an existing file to overwrite.
You can now press Cmd + R in the dialog that appears to overwrite an existing document, which performs the same action as clicking on the Replace button.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a bug where right-clicking in the Recents view of the Documents window would not show the option to clear the view.
Fixes a bug where closing an unsaved document's window and saving it to Cloud would unexpectedly create a local copy of that document as well.
Fixes a bug that could cause the Workspace field in the save dialog to appear blank in some cases.
Fixes a bug that meant the text color popover wouldn't always scroll properly.
Fixes a bug that could cause Components imported from Libraries to reappear after you removed them.
Fixes a bug which could cause document drafts you deleted to stick around in the Documents window for longer than we'd like (and drafts you'd saved to not show up straight away).
Fixes an issue where the Inspector could overflow and get stuck within the window, leaving parts of it hidden and difficult to access.
Fixes a bug where the X and Y values of two lines would stay the same and not update in the Inspector.
Fixes a bug where detaching a Symbol would also remove any Prototyping links you had connected to it.
Fixes a bug where Symbol instances with Smart Layout settings wouldn't always resize as expected when you applied certain Text Style overrides.
Fixes a bug where SVGs wouldn't import as expected if you dragged them directly from a web browser onto the Canvas.
Fixes a regression in Vector Editor mode where selecting points and Shift-dragging over others would not add to your selection. This fix also makes selection behaviour more consistent in general.
Fixes a bug where Command-clicking to insert a new point after a curved path would insert a new curved point instead of a straight one.
Fixes a bug that would cause popovers to close if you clicked on the title bar in any Sketch window.
Fixes a bug where documents in Cloud wouldn't show Artboards at their correct size if you had uploaded a design with a scaled Artboard.
Fixes a bug in sketchtool where the detach command would fail if the document included a missing Symbol.

New in Sketch 62 (Jan 21, 2020)

New:
A better way to create and save documents: When inspiration strikes, you shouldn't have to think about whether your document is being saved to Cloud or on your Mac, so we've fixed that. Now, instead of choosing whether a new document should be a Cloud or local document when you create it, you'll make that choice when you save it instead.
New Smart Layout controls: You can now make sure your Smart Layout buttons don't become too tiny to tap and form fields never shrink too small by setting minimum dimensions. You'll find this much-requested feature under the Layout section of the Inspector when you set a horizontal or vertical layout. And don't worry, the option to set maximum dimensions is coming soon.
What’s improved:
Previously you could open Cloud documents in the Mac app, from your browser, by adding sketch:// in front of your document URL. Now you can do that with the URL for specific Pages and Artboards. When your document opens, you'll be taken to the right place, right away.
Now, when you're viewing the Layer List, you can press ⌘ ⇧ F to switch to the Components Panel and head straight to the filter/search field. We've literally saved you a click.
We've added a new “Swap at Original Size” option to the Components Popover when you're swapping Symbols. It's enabled by default and means that when you swap Symbols, the instance you've selected will resize to fit its new Symbol master. If you'd prefer the instance size to stay the same, you can uncheck this option.
Instead of asking you to confirm your choice any time you delete a Component, we’ll now only show the delete dialog if it will affect any of your layers in your document.
You'll now find Libraries tabs in the sidebar of the Documents window, giving you quick access to any Libraries in your team or personal Cloud workspaces.
When you edit a Cloud Library master document, things should feel a little more smooth. Previously you'd have to save your changes, wait for them to appear in your Library preferences, then download them. That felt a little silly. Now when you edit a Cloud Library master document, it will update in your Library preferences as soon as you save it.
We've made some tweaks to the Components Panel and Popover to improve performance with Libraries of all shapes and sizes. Expect things to feel a little faster from now on.
We’ve improved the accuracy and appearance of previews for documents with missing fonts, especially on layers with specific alignment or Smart Layout settings, and those where multiple instances of the same text layer were present in a single document. If you’ve noticed missing fonts displaying incorrectly in your document previews, you’ll need to open and resave those documents with all the correct fonts available to take advantage of these fixes.
The macOS Auto Save option in Preferences now applies to both local and Cloud documents. Previously this only applied to local documents and Cloud documents always had Auto Save enabled, but now the same preference affects both.
If you have a lot of Libraries, scrolling through Preferences and finding the one that needs an update can be a bit of a pain. Now, clicking on the "Shared Library Update Available" badge will open Preferences and scroll right to the first Library that's available to update.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a bug that could sign you out of your Sketch Account when waking your Mac from sleep mode.
Fixes a bug where selecting "Enable and Open Library" for a Symbol instance from an uninstalled Cloud Library would open the Library master document, but not download the Library itself.
Fixes a bug where nested Symbols could appear in the wrong position when you inserted a Symbol from a Library.
Fixes a bug where measurements wouldn’t appear after you clicked and dragged to select a layer in the Canvas, while pressing the Option key.
Fixes a bug where shadows on layers with centered borders might not appear as you'd expect them to.
Fixes a bug where scrolling down to the bottom of the Components popover would not work as expected.
Fixes a bug that meant it wasn’t possible to open your Cloud Libraries via the contextual menu in the Libraries tab in Preferences.
Fixes a bug where opening or closing a path would flatten rounded corners.
Fixes a crash that could occur if you quit Sketch while the Preferences window was open in front of a document.
Fixes an issue where only the first component of a selected Library would appear in the Components Panel in some cases.
Fixes a bug where the Components Panel wouldn’t update to reflect any components you recently created or deleted.

Improved Text Styles in the Components Panel and Popover: We’re working hard to respond to your feedback on the new Components Panel and Popover and with this release, we’ve brought back a full preview of Text Styles. You’ll now see the Text Style name rendered in the style itself, along with some additional information like size and alignment.
What’s improved:
We've given performance a bit of a boost with this release, particularly when it comes to navigating around large documents.
When you open a Cloud document from the Documents window, you'll now see its download progress on the thumbnail you've just clicked on, instead of in a popup. Because let's face it, we'd all like fewer popups in the world.
If you were ever unlucky enough to run into a "file doesn't exist" error when trying to reopen a Cloud document, first of all, we're sorry about that. Secondly, we've been working hard to reduce the chance of you ever seeing it again. Finally, if you do see it again, the error message should now be far more helpful.
We've improved the appearance of resize handles in the middle of layers so they look sharper, even on non-Retina displays.
For developers, we've added support for Smart Layout and Variable Fonts to our JavaScript API. We've also updated the developer documentation to match, so you can get more details by clicking on either of those links.
For all you fans of super-organised Libraries, you can now create a group with just a single Component in it. Simply right-click on it in the Components Panel and choose “Group” from the contextual menu.
You can now copy a link to a Cloud document by right-clicking on its thumbnail in the Documents window and choosing “Copy Link”. In other words, you no longer have to open a Cloud document in Sketch or in the browser to share its URL.
You can now select Round to Pixel from the Arrange menu when any selection you make includes layers on sub-pixels.
What’s fixed:
Fixes a bug where the Documents window would refresh all its contents and not remember the selection position if you reopened it or switched back to it after focusing on another window.
Fixes a bug where Symbols in Cloud Library documents were inserted as Library Symbols, rather than displaying them as local Symbols.
Fixes a bug where selection hairlines appeared over the top of point handles in the vector editor. This didn't affect how anything worked, but it looked messy, so we've tidied it up.
Fixes a crash that could occur when you imported password-protected PDF files.
Fixes a bug where editing bitmaps in a Symbol master wouldn't always show the updates correctly in overridden instances of that Symbol.
Fixes a crash that could occur when using the color picker on macOS Catalina.
Fixes a bug where pressing the down arrow key after you'd searched for something in the Typefaces popover would dismiss it, instead of highlighting the first result.
Fixes a crash that could occur if you attempted to apply Data to a combined shape.
Fixes a bug where choosing Edit Styles… in the Inspector wouldn't always show the correct information in the Components Panel.
Fixes a bug where the Artboard popover would sometimes get a little shy and hide itself slightly off the side of the screen.
Fixes a crash that could occur if you attempted to pick colors from external displays while another app was in Fullscreen mode on that display.

New in Sketch 60.1 (Nov 20, 2019)

New in Sketch 60 (Nov 13, 2019)

New:
Improved Cloud Libraries: Under the Libraries tab in Preferences, you'll now see all the Libraries that belong to your team(s) on Sketch Cloud, as well as any in your personal workspace. There's also a handy install button right by each one, meaning you no longer have to head to the browser to add a Library.
New Components Panel: The new Components Panel and Components Popover bring Symbols, Text Styles and Layer Styles together in a single place where you can search, sort and filter for what you need, then drag and drop directly onto the Canvas. Now there’s no need for endless menus and naming schemes to sort Symbols into folders, you can do it all from the Components Panel. Better still, both the Components Panel and Popover let you quickly search to find the exact Symbol or style you need, from your document or Libraries, faster than you can say, “Where did we save that modal again?”
What’s improved:
We've given the Documents window a bit of a tidy and moved the New Document button back next to your document previews. As a bonus, if you click the New Document thumbnail while you're viewing a specific project, we'll pre-fill that project name when you go to save your document for the first time.
We all change our minds from time to time, so we've introduced the ability to rename Cloud documents from the Mac app. Just choose File › Rename whenever inspiration for a new name strikes.
You can now copy SVG code from slices as well as regular layers by choosing Edit > Copy > Copy as SVG code.
If you've ever found yourself feeling sad because you can't enter math operations in the Scale Layers sheet, then feel sad no longer! We've made it possible to use all of your favorite math operators to save you having to calculate those new dimensions elsewhere. We've also removed px from the end of the Width and Height fields to keep things consistent with similar fields in the Inspector.
If you enable the Scale down images to fit Artboards preference, we'll now perfectly place big bitmaps right in the centre of your Artboards and scale them down to fit (so long as that bitmap was bigger than the Artboard to begin with, of course).
Continuing our Libraries theme, Components that belong to local Libraries will automatically relink themselves if you upload that Library to Cloud and share it via Sketch for Teams. All you need to do is make sure you've enabled that new Cloud Library in Sketch's preferences and deleted any local copies you have. We'll handle the rest and make the Symbols and Styles in your documents stay linked up.
What’s fixed:
Fixed a bug where leaving the Documents window open for a while and then trying to open a document would result in a cryptic "This file is not a database" message. Your files were always safe, but now they should open without a hitch.
Fixed a bug where thumbnails in the Documents window would load slowly or fail to load at all, especially on slower internet connections.
Fixed a bug where you wouldn't get a notification and could lose changes if you lost your internet connection while a document was uploading to Cloud after you quit Sketch or closed that document.
Fixed a bug where flattening a selection to bitmap would mistakenly include an Artboard's background in the result.
Fixed a bug where Symbols with Smart Layout that were resized, and nested within another Symbol, would appear at their original size when you inserted the Symbol they were nested in onto the Canvas.
Fixed a bug that would cause a Symbol's layers to shift unexpectedly when you inserted an instance or detached from a Symbol.
Fixed a bug which meant you couldn't enter edit mode for a text layer if you were already in edit mode with another text layer.
Fixed a bug where dragging a Symbol instance into a Symbol master would cause Sketch to hang.
Fixed a bug where text in edit mode wouldn't immediately change if you selected an OpenType feature.
Fixed a bug where open paths would unexpectedly close when you flattened them.
Fixed a crash that could occur if you pressed Enter on your keyboard to confirm and submit on the Rotate Copies sheet.
Fixed a bug where layer constraints you applied within a group would continue to affect layers you moved outside of that group.
Fixed a bug that meant text layers wouldn't render correctly when they were rotated and contained missing fonts.
Fixed a bug where previews of Symbol instances with overrides that featured missing fonts wouldn't save or display correctly. In some cases, the missing font preview might not be positioned perfectly (especially for overridden, centered text), but we're working on a fix for this, too.
Fixed a bug where unlocking a layer would make its resizing handles disappear until you deselected and reselected it. We've fixed that to save you a few clicks.
Fixed a bug where titles in the Variable Font Options popover could appear cut off if you'd set your scrollbar preferences to Always in System Preferences and the popover itself wasn't fully on the screen.
Fixed a bug where centered text within a Symbol using a Horizontal and Centered Layout might end up off-center if you resized its parent instance on the Canvas.

New in Sketch 59.1 (Oct 21, 2019)

New in Sketch 59 (Oct 15, 2019)

New:
Better OpenType features support: We've heard your requests for better OpenType features support and today we're bringing them to the Text menu. You'll find a full set of OpenType features for the font you've selected under Text > OpenType Features in the Menu Bar. Simply select your text, enable the features you need, and unlock even better typography in Sketch.
Variable fonts support: Along with better OpenType features support, this update also brings support for variable font options like weight, width, slant, optical size and more. If you're using an OpenType font with variable options, you’ll be able to adjust these using the Variable Font Options popover in the Inspector.
What’s improved:
We've improved how things work when you drag layers out of an Artboard. They'll no longer stay arranged within their previous Artboard in the Layer List.
We've improved the behaviour around Smart Distribute spacing handles, so when you click on a handle, we won't adjust the spacing until you start dragging to avoid any unwanted changes.
To help you get to grips with the new Smart Layout features we launched in version 58, we've added a new tutorial template. You can find it under the Templates tab in the documents window.
We've tidied up Smart Distribute reordering handles so they no longer show if your selection is so small that they interfere with their surrounding resizing handles.
With the introduction of Smart Layout, we've removed the behaviour that would occur if you placed a small layer less than 20px from a text layer to have it move along when overrides changed the text layer's size. You can achieve the same result with even more control using Smart Layout instead.
For developers, we've added a new sketchtool detach command that creates a self-contained Sketch document from any document using Symbols and Shared Styles.
We've introduced a new API that gives plugin developers even more power when it comes to responding to document changes. The new onDocumentChange handler lets plugins listen for new layers being added, existing layers being deleted or rearranged within the layer list, as well as layer attribute changes such as fill and border styles or Symbol override values. Check out the sample plugin to see how it works.
If you're exporting two-point lines as SVGs, they'll now export as elements instead of as paths.
We've given the typeface picker in the Inspector a fresher look and made previews more legible. And if you select a text layer and open it up, it now scrolls to show you the selected typeface right in the middle of the list.
What’s fixed:
Fixed a bug where Color Adjust settings would be enabled in the Inspector any time you imported bitmaps. Now you'll only see these settings when you enable them.
Fixed a crash that could occur if you flattened combined shapes that featured multiple open paths.
Fixed a bug that meant you'd see the wrong Text Style in some cases when you were editing an override on the Canvas.
Fixed a bug where highlights for text overrides on the Canvas wouldn't always update to fit their text when the Symbol they involved used Smart Layout settings.
Fixed a bug where previews of text overrides that used a missing font wouldn't display correctly in exports and uploads to Cloud.
Fixed a crash that could occur on macOS Catalina 10.15 for Macs with NVIDIA graphics.
Fixed a bug that meant some files took too long to open and caused Sketch to hang or not respond.
Fixed a bug where some color presets might not show up if you hadn't changed the default preset name.
Fixed a bug where some custom shortcuts would not work until you used the option from the main menu first.
Fixed a bug where setting an override to none in a vertical Smart Layout would shrink the overall width to 0.
Fixed a bug where text styles wouldn't look right if you opened a document in macOS High Sierra that was last saved on macOS Catalina.
Fixed a bug where moving a shape up and out of a group (or Artboard) would unexpectedly create a combined shape that looked the layer was hidden or repositioned. Now that layer should move to its new place in the Layer List as you'd expect it to.

New in Sketch 58 (Sep 17, 2019)

Introducing Smart Layout: With Smart Layout, we're making Symbols more powerful and supercharging your workflow when it comes to using them in your designs. With it, you can set a direction for Symbols to resize when you change their overrides, while keeping the spacing between different layers in that Symbol consistent. Better still, you can set different Smart Layout settings for Nested Symbols and even groups within Symbols. It's incredibly powerful and we can't wait to see how it'll improve your workflow.
What’s improved:
We've made the Welcome Window better, bigger, cleaner and more snappy. You can browse your Cloud documents by Project in a new sidebar on the left, and we've given thumbnails plenty more space so you can see more of your documents without scrolling.
Along with browsing Projects in the Welcome Window, you'll now have the option to pick a Project when you save a new Cloud document for the first time.
What’s fixed:
Fixed a bug where Sketch would believe you were offline and not allow you to upload new Cloud documents after you put your Mac to sleep or temporarily disconnected from the internet.
Fixed a bug where text overrides might reset or clear themselves if you clicked in and out of a text override field in the Inspector.
Fixed a bug where Symbol instances on your Canvas would not pick up changes you made to a text layer in that Symbol's master.
Fixed a bug where you might see the Canvas flash if you switch from a different app to Sketch when it's in full screen mode.
Fixed a crash that could occur if you created a particularly big grid.
Fixed a bug where resizing multiple layers with a small width or height but large distance between them would cause either their height or width to increase unexpectedly.
Fixed a bug where performing a Union operation on straight lines would make the combined shape disappear.
Fixed a bug where an artboard you hovered over wouldn't highlight when if you were in Prototyping mode.
Fixed a bug where your Show Layer Selection preference would reset itself when you restart Sketch.
Fixed a bug that could result in Sketch failing to respond (hanging) in a few different situations. If you've been in touch about Sketch being unresponsive, this one is for you.
Fixed a few different bugs related to how nested overrides highlight when you select them on the Canvas. If you'd selected a nested override and couldn't see it highlighted on the Canvas properly, you'll be pleased to know this update puts that right.
Fixed a bug that could cause performance issues and slow things down if you selected certain Symbol masters with complex overrides.

New in Sketch 57.1 (Aug 16, 2019)

New in Sketch 57 (Aug 16, 2019)

New:
Reorder layers in a Smart Distribute selection: If you’ve selected multiple layers with even spacing between them, you can grab and drag the center of one of those layers to change its position within that selection. The surrounding layers will reorder themselves and snap into place to make way for the one you’re moving. The best part is, it even works with Artboards, so you can keep your documents looking neat and tidy.
Better Boolean Operations: We’ve done a lot of work to improve the way we handle Boolean Operations. If you’ve run into any Boolean Ops bugs or odd behaviours in the past, there’s a good chance we’ve fixed it here.
What’s improved:
If you use the arrow keys on your keyboard with the Rotate tool to adjust a layer, we'll now hide the selection handles and show the right values in the Inspector.
Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between solid and gradient presets in the Color Popover, so we've given them their own their own headings to make it easier to find what you need.
You can now paste rich text from the Clipboard directly into the Canvas by choosing Paste as Rich Text in the Edit menu. Previously, we only enabled this in text editing mode, but now it's always there.
We've changed a few arrangement shortcuts. Send Backward is now ⌘ [ and Bring Forward is ⌘ ]. Send to Back is now ⌘ ⌥ [ and Bring to Front is ⌘ ⌥ ]. If you’d like to use the old shortcut or something totally different, you can create custom keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences.
We've made it easier to work with very large grids. Scrolling around them, moving them and changing colors should all feel faster and smoother.
You can now set a default layer style from the Layer menu in vector editing mode if you've selected a single path or shape group.
What’s fixed:
Fixed a bug where you might see the wrong cursor if you hover over Inspector labels with your language set as Chinese.
Fixed a bug where the Layer List would scroll to the top if you hit Undo in a document with a long list of layers.
Fixed a bug where Smart Distribute handles could look squashed if you launched Sketch on a Retina display then moved the document to a non-Retina display.
Fixed a bug where you wouldn't see a proper preview of your work in Quick Look in the Finder.
Fixed a bug where where you couldn't insert an image by selecting one from your Photos Library in the Finder sheet. This might mean we'll ask for permission to access your photos if you haven't granted it already.
Fixed a crash that could occur if you tried to apply an Outer Border to certain paths.
Fixed a bug where an Artboard might lose its preset if you converted it into a Symbol.
Fixed a bug where a landscape Artboard might unexpectedly switch to portrait if you held shift and dragged to resize it.
Fixed a bug where images might not be properly included as part of a group if that image overlapped with a nearby Artboard.
Fixed a bug where inserting a line while holding shift wouldn’t always respect pixel rounding.
Fixed a crash that could occur when you try to print or adjust your print settings.
Fixed a bug where pressing Control and Option keys at the same time wouldn't correctly show the distance between a text layer's baseline and another text layer's cap height.
Fixed a bug where a Cloud Library update would fail because of an incorrect version/compatibility number. We'll also clearer in telling you when a Library is incompatible.
Fixed a bug where you couldn't set any border position other than inner as part of a default layer style.

Edit text overrides on the Canvas: We’ve made it easier to work with text overrides by adding the option to edit them directly on the Canvas. Simply double-click on text in any Symbol instance and start typing. Stay on the Canvas, stay in the moment and speed up your workflow.
Smart Distribute Upgrades: You can now use Smart Distribute to control the spacing in grids. You can easily adjust the vertical spacing between rows of layers, as well as the horizontal spacing between each layer in a row. We’ve also introduced a new ‘Tidy’ button to the Inspector. It quickly aligns a selection of multiple layers into a neat grid, making it even easier to create and manage complex layouts.
Save your documents to Sketch Cloud: There’s a new option to save documents to Sketch Cloud by default in Preferences. If you choose this, you’ll still have the option to save local documents via a separate menu item and shortcut. You’ll also be able see and open your Cloud documents from the Welcome Window.
What’s improved:
Say hello to some new faces in our Data plugin. There are 102 new people to include in your designs.
You can now choose whether a text layer will auto resize horizontally or vertically to fit its content right from the Inspector.
We’ve moved a few things around in Preferences to clean up the General tab. Nothing’s missing, it just has a new home in one of the other tabs now.
We’ve added a new Select All in Artboard command to the Edit menu so you can quickly grab all of the layers on any Artboard you’ve selected. We’ve also given the different Select All commands their own sub-menu.
Measurements between layers should look a little cleaner when you zoom out. We’re removing the least relevant ones if they overlap to keep things easy to read.
Menus in the Inspector are now a little wider, so if you’ve got Symbol with long names, it should be easier to pick the one you want.
Along with the big upgrades, we’ve given Smart Distribute a boost with three handy improvements. It now works with vertical lines, supports negative spacing (so layers can overlap), and using it on layers inside a group is now as simple as clicking on the group itself.
Known Issues:
macOS Auto Save may not behave as expected and you won't be able to access document versions via the Revert To menu. We're currently working on a fix for this.
What’s fixed:
Fixed a crash that could occur when you try and drag-to-select with the Magic Wand tool.
Fixed a bug where the correct type weight wouldn’t appear for fonts with same name.
Fixed a bug in the Pages and Layer Lists where selections wouldn’t highlight correctly when connected to an external display.
Fixed a bug where resizing multiple layers in a rotated group could cause them to resize disproportionately.
Fixed a bug where gradient fills could unexpectedly change if you re-size two or more layers with them.
Fixed a bug where a selection of layers across groups would snap to unexpected guides.
Fixed a bug where a Symbol master could try and snap itself to its instance as you resize it, if they’re on the same page.
Fixed a bug where values in the Inspector would sometimes show fixed spacing, even when the spacing between a selection of multiple layers was mixed.
Fixed a bug where Smart Distribute wouldn’t work reliably with rotated layers.
Fixed a bug where some spaces between layers wouldn’t be treated as uniform in Smart Distribute.
Fixed a bug where copying and pasting a Symbol instance would also duplicate its master.
Fixed a bug where group bounds and selection handles would not update when scaling a group.
Fixed a bug where layers could be moved up and out of an Artboard if no longer positioned over the Artboard after resizing via the Inspector.
Fixed a bug where multiple layers in a rotated group wouldn’t resize correctly.
Fixed a bug where the bounds of a parent group wouldn’t always update when you distribute the layers in it.
Fixed a bug where the background color for Symbol masters would always be shown in previews of Symbol instances even if you’d set it to not be included in instances.
Fixed a bug where fills for shapes with a semi-transparent outer borders could expand outside its bounds.
Fixed a bug where a Symbol’s master or instance might lose its aspect ratio when you resize it.

You can now set independent opacity, blending options, and shadows for Symbols
Frequently used colors have moved to the Color Preview box and they will now also show you how often they’ve been used and where
Enhancements:
Outlining Strokes has been improved significantly
‘Mask with Shape’ enhanced to detect when you probably want to use an Alpha mask
You can now define how layers will resize when using the inspector: for width, you can add a M (middle) / C (center) or R (right) suffix to indicate which edge of the layer should remain fixed. Similarly for the height you can use M (middle) / C (center) and B (for bottom)
Text alignment has been made recursive; you can select a group and align all text layers inside easily
Text layers now have locked proportions after converting to outlines
‘Make Grid’ now only optionally fills missing cells with duplicated layers
Copy-Pasting a style now also transfers a border’s arrow types across
When two objects snap to each other, the distance between them is now always shown

Improved curve smoothing in the Pencil Tool
Shared Styles now also include the arrow on line ends
When changing a Symbol instance to a new Symbol type, Sketch is now smarter about preserving excluded text values between the two
PDF and EPS can once again be exported to multiple resolutions
When closing the popover in text edit mode, you can now immediately continue typing in the text layer
The Type menu and Font window now update to reflect the current selection better
Updates Artboard presets to include the latest iOS and Apple Watch screen sizes
The option key can now be used to move and resize layers in 0.1px increments, but still allows distance measurements
You can now customize the arrow nudge distance (used for moving and keyboard-resizing) by using two hidden default keys, `nudgeDistanceSmall` and `nudgeDistanceBig`
Introduces a new plugin file format
Improves the naming of new and duplicated layers, styles and shared objects
To make it easier to spot that you’re editing a Symbol, they now have a purple highlight in the canvas and layer list
Fill and Border options can now be accessed through the menu (Layer › Style)
Reorganises and simplifies the View menu to make it easier to find common items
You will now be notified when a device running Sketch Mirror appears for connection
Opening a bitmap image in Sketch no longer adds an automatic slice
The width and height measurements when drawing and resizing shapes are now shown besides the mouse cursor, to make them visible at all times
Bug fixes:
Inserting an image via drag and drop now places it at the correct location in the layer hierarchy
Fixes a bug where Sketch could crash when creating a Symbol from Shape Paths
Flattening bitmaps no longer flattens them to 2x resolution by default
Fixes a bug where shapes with subpaths wouldn’t recalculate their bounds when their boolean ops changed
Fixes a bug where the tab order in the color inspector was unexpected
Fixes a bug where flattening bitmaps on a retina screen might have them jump by a pixel

Improved accuracy of working with small layers
Layers can now sit between pixel boundaries
Artboard Enhancements:
You can now open a preview of an artboard in a separate window
When moving an artboard, Sketch can now move the layers inside the artboard along with it
You can now duplicate artboards including the layers inside it
You can now scale artboards up along with the layers they contain. Perfect for making more detailed Retina assets.

Restyled the artboards so they look and work more like individual canvasses
You can now automatically hide the layers that are not visible within the current artboard
Zoom between artboard switching. With this option turned on, switching from (in this case) a 256×256 artboard to a 128×128 artboard will also zoom the canvas in by 2× to make the new slice occupy the same physical size on-screen as the previous artboard. Useful when comparing multiple resolutions of the same icons.
