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.

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.

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!

Following our refresh of the web app’s document view, we’ve given the rest of the UI a redesign as well. Along with a new font (Inter, if you’re wondering), we’ve also redesigned the sidebar, overhauled settings with dedicated pages, and improved the hierarchy of project, document, and collection thumbnails.

Developers using the web app for handoff can now export any layer in a document without it being set to export in the Mac app first. They’ll have full control over things like size/scale, format and file naming conventions — all within the browser and on the fly.

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.

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.

Version 100 is a milestone release and we want to thank you for helping us get this far. It includes features that many of you have been asking for — along with a few others that make working in Sketch just a little easier.

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.

You can now preview your prototypes at Full Width, making them automatically span to fit the whole browser window — even when you resize it.

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.

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.

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.
