Smart Animate
Smart Animate looks for layers with the same name across different Artboards and animates their changes. If you’ve used Magic Move in Keynote, you’ll pick this up fast! You can control movement and timing with easing and duration options — for Smart Animate and all other transitions. There’s also another new transition type — dissolve — which adds a smooth fade between Artboards or Overlays.
Easy Library swaps
You can now easily replace Libraries in your documents, replacing Components with the same names and locations. It makes designing for dark and light modes or adapting a site for different sub-brands faster and easier. You can choose whether replacing a Library will affect all Components, a specific type or just a selection.
Color Variables in gradients
It’s been a long time coming, but you can now use Color Variables in gradients. Now, when you update a Color Variable, it will update any gradients that use it too. There’s not much more to say with this one except that we’re glad it’s here, and we hope you are too!
Di ‘hola’ a diseñar en español
You can now use the Mac app in Spanish and interact with the UI in a more familiar and intuitive way. To use Sketch in Spanish, make sure you’ve set Spanish as your Mac’s primary language — or set a custom language for Sketch in System Settings.
Better PDF exports
You can now choose which Artboards to export and whether you want to display their title or render them as bitmaps. For Workspace documents, you can also export all comments — either as part of the PDF or as a CSV file.
Improvements (17)
- Previously, you could only show and hide Overlays while hovering in prototypes, but now you can also transition from one regular Artboard to another on hover. This pairs nicely with the new Smart Animate options!
- You can click your middle mouse button (if you have one) and drag to pan around the Canvas.
- Di ‘hola’ a diseñar en español. A partir de ahora, podrás usar Sketch en español e interactuar con la interfaz de manera más familiar e intuitiva. Para poder utilizar Sketch en español, asegúrate de que el idioma principal de tu Mac es también español o, si quieres utilizar tu Mac en otro idioma, configura Sketch en español en Ajustes del Sistema. Echa un vistazo a las instrucciones de Apple para ajustarlo todo a tu gusto.
- We now remember and maintain the scroll position of scrollable areas with the same name and position in the Layer List hierarchy across different Artboards when you switch between them in prototypes.
- You can now click and drag to scroll within scrollable areas when you play a prototype. We’ve also made sure that scrolling a horizontal scroll area that’s nested within a vertical scroll area no longer causes any unexpected vertical jumps.
- We’ve added HEIC as a new export option. You can export up to 8192 x 8192 in size in this format.
- You can now set a hidden layer as an interaction target and it won’t be triggered until you make that layer visible.
- You can now replace the underlying Library for all Components in a document (or a specific Component type) by heading to Edit > Replace Library. This replaces all components with the same name with their counterpart in the replacement Library. For more control, you can select specific Components (usually Symbols) on the Canvas and choose Edit > Replace Selected Components to replace the underlying Library for just those Components.
- We’ve made some big improvements to PDF exports. You can now choose which Artboards to export, optionally add Artboard titles and include comments (for Workspace documents only) and choose to render Artboards as bitmaps for more precision. Also, for Workspace documents, you can export all comments as a CSV file.
- You can now double-click on an Artboard’s name on the Canvas to rename it! One of those things that you didn’t realize you needed until you start using it.
- We’ve added new display options to the prototype player in the Mac app. You can now choose to display any prototype at full width, meaning the prototype will resize so its width always matches the player window’s width. As a result, prototypes you play in the full width display mode with a larger height will scroll vertically.
- We know it’s been a long time coming, but you can now use Color Variables in gradients. Nothing else to say about this one, we’re just glad it’s here and hopefully you are too!
- We now support exporting bitmap images up to 65535 x 65535 in size. WebP images are limited to 16383 x 16383. You can export PNG and TIFF at much larger sizes, limited only by your Mac’s hardware and memory. Exporting images at these larger sizes will take longer.
- We’ve made it easier to add and enable the most popular Apple UI design Libraries directly from the Libraries pane in Sketch’s settings.
- The Workspace window now remembers your previous sidebar selection (Recent Documents, Templates, Libraries, etc.) when you close and re-open the window or quit and restart Sketch.
- You can now hide any layer within a Symbol instance, just like you would hide a layer in a group, for example.
- You can now switch between different Component types in the Insert window by holding Command and pressing the numeric keys 1–4 to move between the different views.
Changes (1)
- With this release, we no longer support macOS 12 (Monterey). We update our support of macOS versions to continue improving Sketch with the latest Apple frameworks and APIs.
Fixes (17)
- Fixes a bug that stopped hover effects from triggering inside scrollable areas.
- Fixes a bug that caused some non-Roman glyphs to disappear from text layers when you applied gradients, masks or converted them to outlines.
- Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to crash when you switched to the Symbols page of a document with an extremely large number of Symbols.
- Fixes a crash that occurred if you attempted to import an SVG which contained an offset value of more than 100%.
- Fixes a bug that caused the export preview in the Inspector to appear pixelated in some cases.
- Fixes a bug that caused the handle on the color picker to move slightly when you clicked on it, making it difficult to lock its axis as you moved it by holding Shift.
- Fixes a crash that could happen if you quickly deleted lots of gradient presets in the color picker.
- Fixes a bug that could cause the prototype player to lose sync with the active document window when you switched between different document windows on different displays.
- The Inspector should now feel faster when working with Symbols that contain a large number of text overrides.
- Fixes a bug that could cause a text override you had just reset to revert back to its override when you changed your selection.
- Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to hang when you attempted to export WebP images via the Share button in the Inspector.
- Fixes a bug that could cause Sketch to hang when you resized lines that appeared to have a height of zero.
- Fixes a bug that could cause layers using the Auto-link to Right Artboard prototyping destination not to show their link to the right Artboard on the Canvas.
- Fixes a bug that stopped Sketch from respecting the correct Smart Layout settings when you pasted a layer into a nested group. Previously it would adopt the parent group’s settings, but now correctly adopts the nested group’s settings.
- Fixes a bug that meant some sections of the Workspace window would not show a proper empty state when there were no items to show.
- Clicking on a locked layer inside a group will now select the parent group. Previously, if you clicked on a locked layer inside a group, nothing would happen.
- Fixes a bug that caused the location of the Open from Your Mac dialog to switch to an Application Support folder with cached versions of Workspace documents, which wasn’t too helpful.
