Web layer list and inspector improvements
We’ve been busy making lots of small improvements to the web app — especially across our developer handoff tools.
The layer list in the web app now shows the same icons as the Mac app, reflects hidden and locked layer states, and you can right-click directly in it to access the contextual menu — just like you’d expect.
Frames also get proper treatment in the inspector now, with Appearance, Corners, and box model properties showing up in the sidebar.
Improvements (12)
- Right-clicking on the Canvas in frame detail view now opens the contextual menu, so you can select and inspect layers without leaving the view.
- The layer list now matches the Mac app more closely, with the correct icon set, consistent icon colours, and tighter indentation for nested layers.
- Frames now show Appearance, Corners, and box model properties in the inspector sidebar, reflecting that frames are fully styleable elements.
- Layer type icons for stacks now appear consistently throughout the inspector sidebar.
- We now make it clear in the layer list when a layer is locked, and canvas interactions match the Mac app — clicks pass through them rather than selecting them.
- You can now right-click on any layer in the layer list to open the contextual menu — no need to right-click on the Canvas instead.
- We now support SF Symbols in layer names in the Inspector UI.
- Hidden layers now appear dimmed in the layer list, so you can tell at a glance what’s visible and what isn’t. Canvas interactions match the Mac app, too.
- You can now copy a link to your exact canvas position when viewing an individual frame, and it’ll open at the right place for anyone you share it with.
- Menus across the web app now show icons alongside actions, making it easier to find what you need at a glance.
- The Workspace invite experience has a new, cleaner design with a preview of the inviting Workspace and your role.
- You can now accept pending Workspace invites from your account settings, without needing to click through a separate invitation email.
Fixes (6)
- Fixed a number of icon display issues across the web app.
- Fixed a bug which incorrectly highlighted Symbol Sources as instances.
- Resolved a long-standing bug that prevented access to deleted document versions in some cases.
- Fixes a bug that meant Viewers saw Remix instead of Edit in Sketch in the web app when they had edit access to a specific document.
- Fixes a Safari bug that caused Canvas contextual menus to close unexpectedly.
- Fixes a bug that cleared active document filters in the Workspace toolbar when you changed the sort order. You can now see when non-default filters are active because the Filter button icon stays blue.
