Explore the future of Sketch

• With this release, we no longer support macOS 14 (Sonoma). We update our support of macOS versions to continue improving Sketch with the latest Apple frameworks and APIs.
• The individual side fields for borders in the inspector — and its popover menu — now have the same top/left/bottom/right order.

Stacks

• When you combine a stack’s padding into fewer values — for example, from separate sides to a single value — we now keep the value of the input you’re editing instead of the largest one. So, if you’re editing vertical padding and switching to a single value, we keep that value instead of the larger horizontal one.
• When you edit a stack, you’ll see smaller and more consistent padding and gap handles that feel more balanced with other Canvas handles and easier to tell apart.
• When you adjust a Stack’s padding or gap, the parent Stack’s selection outline now stays visible while its padding outline is hidden, giving you more consistent and less cluttered Canvas overlays.
• When you adjust a stack’s gap or padding values in the Inspector, we now temporarily hide selection overlays, making it easier to see your changes on the Canvas.
• The on-Canvas controls for Smart Distribute now match the redesigned Stacks controls. The spacing value now shows a directional arrow, making it easier to see which way you’re adjusting.

General

• We’ve improved performance up to 80x when handling images whose color space differs from your Canvas.
• You can now edit existing Smart Layout properties for frame and graphic templates in the Components view.
• Rotate Copies now works with more layer types, including editable text, images, groups and Symbols, not just shapes and combined shapes.
• The Scale tool now supports smart guides, helping you align edges to nearby layers while scaling. Hold ⌃ to ignore these and disable snapping as usual.
• We’ve improved the performance of the Minimap when dealing with effects on invisibly small layers.
• The prototype player now supports Display P3, so wide-gamut colors display accurately in your prototypes across macOS, iOS, and the web.

Stacks

• Fixes a bug that stopped you from scrubbing the rotation value in the Inspector for items within stack layouts.
• Fixes a bug that caused Make Grid to immediately duplicate layers inside a stack into a grid without showing its panel. Make Grid is now unavailable for layers inside a stack layout.
• Fixes a bug that showed the wrong size insertion marker when you drew a layer into a stack set to Stretch.
• Fixes a bug where dragging layers within a stack could position them unpredictably. This was particularly problematic when you moved items between wrapped lines, or across positive and negative gaps.
• Fixes a bug where the Foresight preview for a layer you dragged into a stack would persist even if you dragged it straight out again.
• Fixes a bug that caused a layer you drew into a Stack to end up in a different position than the insertion bar showed. The insertion bar is now also more accurate as you hover and drag.

Effects

• Fixes a bug where applying both a shadow and fade effect to a group or frame could produce strange results.
• Fixes a bug where using an alpha mask inside a Group or frame with a shadow could cause that shadow to render incorrectly.
• Fixes a bug where lowering a Tint’s opacity on a Symbol instance would fade the entire layer instead of only the content the Tint affected.
• Fixes a bug that caused effects or shadows to appear out-of-date in the Minimap.

Inspector

• Fixes a bug that stopped you from using the color picker (⌃C) to change the color of a Symbol override or a mixed selection.
• Fixes a bug that caused a distance you’d entered for Offset Path to reset to zero when you turned on Create new layer.
• Fixes a bug that stopped a variable font using a custom axis value — such as a weight you set with the slider — from being embedded or listed in Document Fonts when it was the only time that font family appeared in the document.
• Fixes a bug that caused variable fonts to appear as missing after you adjusted their axis values in the Inspector.
• Fixes a bug that showed a blend mode option in the color panel for group shadows, even though blend mode has no visual effect on groups.
• Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to crash if you quickly deleted multiple presets in the Color panel.
• Fixes a bug that meant undoing a scale change after picking a new scale origin didn’t restore the Inspector correctly.

Combined Shapes

• Fixes a bug where dragging the only shape inside a combined shape onto its parent group in the Layer List would delete both items.
• Fixes a bug where flattening a combined shape would cause it to lose some of its settings.

Command Bar

• Fixes a bug that caused the Command Bar to show the latest changes to a local Library’s Symbols before you accepted the Library update, instead of the version you were actually using.
• Fixes a bug that caused Command Bar searches for words like “document”, “from”, or “this” to match every local component, as those words matched the “From this Document” source label.

Overlays

• Fixes a bug that meant layout overlays displayed incorrectly if their settings result in guides having non-integral positions.
• Fixes a bug that caused Grid and Layout overlays to disappear on frames you had rotated or flipped.
• Fixes a bug that stopped the Scale tool overlay from refreshing when you changed a layer’s rotation.

Resizing

• Fixes a bug that caused layers with locked proportions to subtly drift from their original aspect ratio if you had pixel fitting enabled when you resized them. They now keep their exact aspect ratio at the expense of pixel fitting in one dimension if necessary.
• Fixes a bug that caused child layers you had rotated within a frame or graphic to shear or shift position when you resizes the parent while holding ⌘.
• Fixes a bug that caused independent borders on shape layers to corrupt or become stuck when you scaled a rotated shape or group with the Scale tool.

General

• Fixes a bug that caused layers with dashed borders to ignore their Center on Corners setting when you exported them to SVG (text layers are not included in this).
• Fixes a bug that caused duplicated Symbols nested inside a Group to disappear in the web app when you saved your changes.
• Fixes a bug that meant the eyedropper stayed active after you switched to another app, which could block clicks in that app until you returned to Sketch.
• Fixes a bug that caused Sketch to crash if you selected another document from the sidebar soon after you’d closed or detached a tabbed document.
• Fixes a bug in macOS 27 (Golden Gate) that prevented you from picking an item from the Component swap popover by clicking on its name (only clicking on its thumbnail worked).
• Fixes a bug that rendered unwanted harsh edges on shadows that used the Color Dodge blend mode.
