    Improvements (4)

    • The Size Instance to Fit Content option is now available in the Layer menu (which means you can also create a shortcut for it).
    • You can now enable or disable all overrides for a Symbol source via a new checkbox at the top of the Manage Overrides Inspector section.
    • Sketch is now much more responsive when copying and pasting large Artboards between pages or documents, so you should see fewer beach balls (unless that’s what you’re designing).
    • The ⏎ and ⇧⏎ shortcuts now consistently create a new line when editing text overrides on the Canvas, in the Overrides panel, and when editing comment fields. Pressing ⌘⏎ submits the text change. Also, text input fields now resize more consistently as you edit.

    Changes (2)

    • If you hide collaborator names and cursors in your document, we will no longer show their selections either. This feels a bit more in line with what you’d expect in this scenario.
    • When swapping Symbol instances for the first time, the Swap at Original Size checkbox is now unchecked by default.

    Fixes (22)

    • Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to crash when opening and reading a corrupted document.
    • Fixes a bug that prevented a prototype animation from moving to the right in Sonoma.
    • Fixes a bug where nested Symbol instances in a component sometimes didn’t display correctly.
    • Fixes a bug that caused extra spacing to appear around some menus in macOS Sonoma
    • Fixes a bug where exporting selected layers would create a Slice in the wrong location.
    • Fixes a bug that caused inconsistent behavior when switching to Auto Height while resizing text layers.
    • Fixes a bug where a bitmap’s dimensions would be incorrectly doubled when Option-dragging a layer from the Layer List onto the Canvas, or dragging in an image from the Export preview in the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window in the Mac app from updating correctly when you deleted a document from your Workspace in the web app.
    • Fixes a bug that blocked installing and updating Libraries if the download file size information wasn’t provided.
    • Fixes a bug where searching for documents that contain umlaut characters (such as Å, Ä, Ö) didn’t appear as search results.
    • Fixes a bug that sometimes prevented scrolling to the end of the Overrides list in the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that caused some interaction hotspot overrides to be hidden in the Overrides panel in the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug where adding a random Unsplash image wouldn’t work with Symbols.
    • Fixes an issue where the Preview window was partially offscreen when previewing Artboards that were larger than the display size.
    • Fixes a bug where an overlay would sometimes shift by a few pixels when viewed in the Preview window.
    • Fixes a bug where Color Variables used in overrides weren’t correctly imported from Libraries.
    • Fixes a bug that caused Shadows, Inner Shadows and Blur properties to be hidden in the Inspector immediately after exiting vector editing mode.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when deleting gradient presets in the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that sometimes caused a black line to appear on the edge of an image after reducing its file size.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the selection highlight from hiding when you adjusted a layer’s corner properties, making it harder to see those all-important corners.
    • Fixes a bug where selecting a shape will show the previously used corners mode (uniform or individual), instead of the most appropriate mode for the selected shape.
    • Fixes a bug that prevented Library components from syncing correctly.

    • Web app

    Better sorting and filtering

    When you’re browsing or searching for documents in the web app, you can now filter the view to show only documents with prototypes or documents you can edit. Within projects, you can ungroup collections to display all documents individually in your results. We’ve also added a new sorting feature, to help you organize your documents by name, date created, or last updated. Whichever you choose, you can sort your results in ascending or descending order.

    • Web app

    New sharing modal

    We‘ve redesigned our sharing modal to give you more control over what you share inside and outside your Workspace. Instead of a combined list, we’ve split access settings into three tabs, giving you a quick overview of what you’re sharing, where, and with whom. This update also lets you invite Guests to projects as Viewers, making it easier to share your work with people outside the Workspace.

    Dark mode

    We’ve enabled dark mode in the web app. You can choose between Light or Dark or have the web app match your system settings. To try it out, open your Account menu (that shows your profile image) at the bottom of the left sidebar, then select an option from the Appearance menu.

    98.1

    This update includes some fixes to crashes and bugs you’ve reported. Thanks for your feedback!

    Changes (1)

    • We now sort Projects in the same way Apple does with Finder. For example, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3,…10.10 etc. rather than 10.1, 10.10, 10.2 etc. This affects anywhere you see Projects and sort them by name.

    Fixes (2)

    • Fixes a bug that stopped characters with accents and diacritics from appearing when you wrote a comment in the Mac or iOS app.
    • Fixes a bug that caused text layers that contained only emoji to always include themselves within a selection, even if you didn’t select them yourself.

    Improvements (4)

    • We’re continuing to work hard on a new experimental feature, Smart Layout in groups. You can read about the latest updates on our community forum.
    • We now only show the notifications icon (bell) in the toolbar if you have notifications to review.
    • We’ve improved how things look when content is a little slow to load on the Canvas. It should feel more natural now.
    • We’re continuing to make our Figma file importer more reliable, and this update includes a few enhancements here. Thanks for all your feedback!

    Fixes (17)

    • Fixes a bug that caused marquee selections to incorrectly select boolean shapes when the selection included sub-shapes but not the compound boolean shape itself.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when you changed the order of images fills in a Symbol source, if any instances of that Symbol had loaded already.
    • Fixes an issue in the JavaScript API where using text style with Style objects would cause Sketch to crash.
    • Fixes a bug that made Library names difficult to read in the Document Settings pane after you changed Sketch’s appearance.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window from remembering the Workspace you had selected before you quit Sketch.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped plugins from being able to control trimming options for exports via our API. Also, by default, Symbol instances will no longer be automatically trimmed when you export them.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the image editing tools from appearing when you double-clicked on an image.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Canvas from updating when you made changes to layers that involved certain combinations of groups and masks.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when trying to undo an edit to a comment.
    • Fixes a bug that caused export previews in the Inspector to appear at a higher resolution than the actual export.
    • Fixes a bug that caused an error icon to appear misplaced if a Symbol could not be displayed.
    • Fixes a bug that named all new Collections you created to be called “New Collection”, regardless of how many Collections with that name already existed. Now we number your new Collections so not all new Collections are “New Collection”.
    • Fixes a bug that could occur if you tried to apply a background blur to a bitmap without an alpha channel.
    • Fixes a bug that caused Artboard names to render incorrectly in certain scenarios.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped you from being able to paste images using the CMYK color space into Sketch.
    • Fixes a bug that caused text from a Linked Data source to always insert at random from the Inspector, even if you had unchecked the option for this.
    • Fixes a bug that could block you from deleting empty groups if the last layer in that group was cut or moved out of it.

    97.1

    This release fixes some bugs and crashes that you’ve reported in our latest update.

    Fixes (12)

    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window from showing local templates if you were using a license and not signed into a Workspace.
    • Fixes a bug that caused PDF or EPS slice exports to include all content outside the slice and increase the size of the final export.
    • Fixes a bug that stopped the Workspace window from showing recent documents if you registered Sketch with a license key and were not signed in to any Workspaces.
    • Fixes a bug that caused Command-D to discard unsaved documents from the Workspace Save panel. To discard an unsaved document, you can instead use Command-Backspace.
    • Fixes a bug that caused SVG formatting to change with locale, leading to incorrect exports depending on your Mac’s region settings.
    • Fixes centerOnLayer and adjustToFit in the Javascript API, which were using removed and renamed Sketch methods.
    • Fixes a bug that led to nested Symbol overrides no longer being sorted alphabetically.
    • Fixes a rare crash that could occur when you resize Artboards in certain circumstances.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur as you applied rounded corners.
    • Fixes a bug that led to poor performance with some Sketchtool commands.
    • Fixes a bug that caused the Workspace window to temporarily show Workspace documents after you signed out.
    • Fixes an issue that made marquee selection wrongly select masked layers even if the marquee selection was entirely outside the mask. The fix also includes an improvement that makes marquee selection behave the same way as click selection, using the actual layer shape instead of the bounding box to determine if a layer should be selected.

    Collections

    Introducing a new level of organization for your Workspace. With Collections, you can group documents inside of Projects. Just like Projects, Collections are workflow-agnostic — so you can organize documents using whatever groupings suit you and your collaborators best. Collections are available right now in the latest version of the Mac, iOS and web apps.

    View & Mirror — now on iPad

    Sketch View & Mirror (our iOS companion app) now supports viewing local documents (from Files or third-party apps), offline mode and Apple’s Handoff feature. Better still, it’s now available for iPad, where you can browse your designs in a beautiful full Canvas view and see all the details — whether they’re on an Artboard or not.

    Selection improvements

    We’ve spent some time improving all the little interactions that might bug you or feel inconsistent when it comes to selection and dragging in the Mac app. Overall, it should feel easier and more predictable to select layers by clicking on their visible parts, or move layers by dragging within their selection box. Check out the video above for a walkthrough of these changes.
