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.

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.

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.

Press ⌘K in any document to open the Command Bar and quickly access tools, actions, and plugins. Over time, it will learn your preferences and bring your most-used actions to the top of the search results.

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 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.

You can now access Discover via the Mac app too. You’ll find it at the top of the Workspace Window’s sidebar — the latest updates, learning resources and helpful links right at hand.

For Business plan customers, it’s now easier to manage who can access documents and projects by assigning pre-made groups of Workspace Members to them.

For Business plan customers, we’re introducing the option to archive projects, giving you a handy space to file away inactive projects, and stay focused on what’s in flight.

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.

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 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.

What’s happened in 2023? Well, quite a lot! From closing the feedback loop and making on-Canvas comments available across Sketch, to taking a major leap forward with Smart Layout — there’s a lot to cover! So let’s recap on a pretty big year.

Smart Layout is now available in groups and Artboards, bringing more control and convenience to your work. We’ve also made plenty of great improvements to Smart Layout, including new keyboard shortcuts, Foresight support, and a whole lot more.
