We’ve added a new Labs tab to Sketch’s settings, where you can enable experimental features. These features may not be 100% complete, but they’re ready for you to try and share your feedback on to help us shape them. We’re kicking things off with a big one — Smart Layout in groups. Enable it today to try Smart Layout outside of Symbols and let us know what you think.
Conversation complete? Discussion done? Details debated? You can now mark comments (and their replies) as resolved in the web and Mac apps. Resolved comments disappear from view, but you can always bring them back (and reopen them) via the View menu in the Mac app or the drop-down menu in the web app’s sidebar.
Our latest update to the Mac app includes support for resolving comments, a new experimental features menu, and a whole host of small-but-mighty improvements to your workflows.
Say hello to commenting on the Mac! Share your feedback and thoughts right in the context of your designs while you‘re designing. Now, no matter where you comment or reply, your conversations will always stay in sync.
You can now turn any document into a template that everyone in your Workspace can use — ideal for repeatable tasks or creating consistent document setups. We’ve also added a bunch of beautiful, free and customizable templates — from presentations and social posts, to mockups and business cards — to help kickstart your next project. Check them out in the Workspace window (⌘O).
You can now open Figma files in Sketch! Simply head to File > Open Local document (⇧⌘O) and choose your .fig file, or drag it over the Sketch icon in the Dock, and we’ll handle the rest.
We’re hard at work on improving Smart Layout and, in this update, you’ll find that right-to-left and bottom-to-top directions now behave exactly like their reverse counterparts (left-to-right and top-to-bottom).
When you hide nested Symbol instances, we now preserve and remove spacing in a way that’s more reliable and predictable. Stay tuned for more updates!
When you work with lots of Libraries, places like the Insert window can get a little crowded. So now, you can just enable the Libraries you need for specific documents—keeping only the Components you need. Best of all? Anyone who opens the document will have these libraries automatically installed and available.
This year we’ve been busy working on new features to give designers and the people around them better and faster ways to create their best work. But unless you’re using Sketch every day, you might’ve missed some of our big releases. So here’s a quick recap of some of the coolest improvements we’ve added to Sketch in the last 12 months.
