    100.1

    Thanks for all your feedback on version 100! We’re already busy working on our next big update, but thought we’d take a moment to fix a few of the bugs you’ve been running into.

    Fixes (6)

    • Fixes a bug that made Sketch slow to respond, or freeze completely, if you had the app open for a long time. You may also have noticed this more if you used the undo action a lot (this fixes that as well).
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when you opened documents with certain fonts on macOS Sonoma.
    • Fixes a bug that blocked you from opening bitmap images in Sketch if you downloaded the app from the Mac App Store.
    • Fixes a ghost notification that would inform you about Component updates when there were none. Spooky.
    • Fixes an issue where changes to Figma’s file format prevented our .fig file importer from working properly.
    • Fixes a bug that caused the eyedropper tool to stutter or lag briefly on particularly large documents.

    Scroll areas in prototypes

    Make your prototypes scroll in any direction — from a simple row of cards, to a full size map. Set up scroll areas in seconds and adjust them right on the Canvas.

    Hover, press and toggle triggers

    We’ve added new hover and press interactions, alongside the classic tap/click. Use these to trigger overlays, or even hide or show specific layers (that’s also new with this update). There’s also a new toggle option to show and hide a layer or overlay with each click or tap.

    Find your way around fast on an infinite Canvas. The Minimap will appear whenever you have layers outside your view, and show you exactly where you are in the current document. Simply click and drag on it to pan around.

    Pin documents and projects

    Pin important documents and projects to the top of the sidebar in the web app and Workspace window in the Mac app. Pinned items are personal to you, so you can use them in whatever way suits your workflow best.

    Improvements (2)

    • We’ve made some improvements to how our Figma file importer handles text layers. As a reminder, you can drag any .fig file onto the Sketch dock icon, or open it from the File menu to import it into Sketch.
    • You can now use the shortcut to save a new version from the Create Version modal (^S).

    Changes (1)

    • This release is the last to support macOS 12 (Monterey). Future updates will require macOS version 13 (Ventura) or later.

    Fixes (13)

    • Fixes a bug that prevented the prototype player from running after resizing and moving it to another display.
    • Fixes a bug where tints applied to a Symbol or group containing text weren’t visible in the prototype player.
    • Fixes a bug where generating prototype previews for complex documents took longer than expected.
    • Fixes a bug that caused the prototype player to appear blank after you created or duplicated an Artboard.
    • Fixes a bug where prototype previews wouldn’t always update after making changes to a Symbol.
    • Fixes a bug where the prototype player wouldn’t immediately show changes after you edited a Symbol source.
    • Fixes a bug where replacing a Symbol with another would always behave as if the Swap Symbols at Original Size option was in effect, even when unchecked.
    • Fixes a bug that caused single Artboard or layer exports in jpg format to use the extension .jpeg and not .jpg. These exports now use .jpg again, as they did before.
    • Fixes a bug that reduced on-Canvas performance while working with large bitmaps.
    • Fixes a bug where adding line breaks (using Enter or ) in descriptions for new saved versions wouldn’t work correctly.
    • Fixes a bug where you couldn’t scroll down a long description when creating a new document version.
    • Fixes a bug where dragging to select layers would select additional layers outside of the drag area.
    • Fixes a bug where the Refresh Data shortcut (D) didn’t appear in the Menu Bar’s Insert menu or the Insert Toolbar.

    New sharing options for prototypes

    We’ve made it easier to hide hints and hotspots when sharing prototypes. There’s also a new sharing option that removes toolbars and navigation for a more focused, client-friendly experience.

    Add comments to prototypes

    You can now can view and add comments while playing prototypes — right in the web browser — with no need to switch back to the design. Great for gathering feedback without interrupting anyone’s flow.

    • Web app

    Refreshed web app UI

    We’ve refreshed our web app’s UI, making it easier to navigate and helping you focus more on what matters — your designs. We’ve removed the sidebars, making more space for the full Canvas view, while keeping all the tools close at hand.

    Improved notifications view

    We’ve also revamped our Web app’s notifications view — adding the option to filter between different types of notifications and giving everything more space, so you can see more of those all-important comments.

    Automatic saves for Workspace documents

    We automatically and regularly save your Workspace documents as you design — this means you don’t need to manually save at all unless you want to create a version. If you want to mark a specific milestone or moment of progress, you can quickly create a new version — and add a description or a star — by using ^S.

    New prototype player

    We’ve rolled out a brand new prototype player that works across the Mac, web and iOS apps. With our new prototype player, playing your prototypes should feel smoother, faster, and more reliable. We also now support advanced display effects like background blurs on scrolling Artboards.

    Foresight 🤝 Tidy

    Foresight now works with the Tidy button in the Inspector — you’ll now see a preview when you hover over it, giving you a better idea of how your changes will look. Tidy now also works on both the horizontal and vertical axis, making it even easier to align layers.

    Improvements (3)

    • 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.
    • Tidy now also works on both the horizontal and vertical axes, making it even easier to align layers.
    • We’ve tidied up the Layer menu — you’ll now find a new Symbol submenu that groups together all Symbol-related actions.

    Changes (2)

    • Copying or dragging layers and Artboards from Sketch over to an external app as PNGs now works the same as JPG and TIFF exports, with the correct amount of pixels according to the scale, and always at 72 DPI.
    • macOS Sonoma no longer supports converting EPS files, so you won’t be able to import EPS files into Sketch. You’ll need to convert your file to PDF first to import it. Sorry about that!
