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.
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 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.
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.
We’ve refreshed our web app’s UI, making it easier to navigate and helping you focus more on what matters — your designs. We’ve removed the sidebars, making more space for the full Canvas view, while keeping all the tools close at hand.
You can now inspect designs in the web app with all the context that comes from the full Canvas view. Open up a design in your browser, click the Inspect icon and select whatever you need, right on the Canvas.
In addition to Color Tokens, you can now export Layer Styles and Text Styles as Design Tokens — right from the web app. You can download your design tokens, or create an always-up-to-date public link for them.
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.
We’ve also revamped our Web app’s notifications view — adding the option to filter between different types of notifications and giving everything more space, so you can see more of those all-important comments.
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.
