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.
Our latest Mac update includes some major improvements to Smart Layout — bringing it to groups and Artboards, along with a host of handy improvements. This release also includes a number of other smaller improvements and fixes.
Requires macOS Monterey (12.0.0) or newer
When you’re browsing or searching for documents in the web app, you can now filter the view to show only documents with prototypes or documents you can edit. Within projects, you can ungroup collections to display all documents individually in your results. We’ve also added a new sorting feature, to help you organize your documents by name, date created, or last updated. Whichever you choose, you can sort your results in ascending or descending order.
We‘ve redesigned our sharing modal to give you more control over what you share inside and outside your Workspace. Instead of a combined list, we’ve split access settings into three tabs, giving you a quick overview of what you’re sharing, where, and with whom. This update also lets you invite Guests to projects as Viewers, making it easier to share your work with people outside the Workspace.
We’ve enabled dark mode in the web app. You can choose between Light or Dark or have the web app match your system settings. To try it out, open your Account menu (that shows your profile image) at the bottom of the left sidebar, then select an option from the Appearance menu.
Sketch is once again available to download from the Mac App Store. We’re happy to be back, and it looks like Apple are too.
You can now view, create and respond to comments on your iPhone and iPad. This update also brings a full Canvas view to the iPhone, Artboard view to the iPad, as well as Mirroring support for the iPad.
Our latest Mac update (v98) focuses on fixing some bugs, polishing a few existing areas of the app, and improving the reliability of our Figma file importer.

We’ve rolled out a brand new prototype player on the web app and rebuilt it completely from the ground up. You’ll see some big improvements to loading times when you test your prototypes, and complex designs now display more accurately.
Introducing a new level of organization for your Workspace. With Collections, you can group documents inside of Projects. Just like Projects, Collections are workflow-agnostic — so you can organize documents using whatever groupings suit you and your collaborators best. Collections are available right now in the latest version of the Mac, iOS and web apps.
Sketch View & Mirror (our iOS companion app) now supports viewing local documents (from Files or third-party apps), offline mode and Apple’s Handoff feature. Better still, it’s now available for iPad, where you can browse your designs in a beautiful full Canvas view and see all the details — whether they’re on an Artboard or not.
We’ve spent some time improving all the little interactions that might bug you or feel inconsistent when it comes to selection and dragging in the Mac app. Overall, it should feel easier and more predictable to select layers by clicking on their visible parts, or move layers by dragging within their selection box. Check out the video above for a walkthrough of these changes.
You can now select multiple layers and use Edit > Rename (⌘R) to rename your entire selection, with support for modifier tokens and optional matching of portions of the layers’ names. You can also use Edit > Rename All (⌥⌘R) to rename all the layers on your current page, with the option to filter for specific layers to rename. Finally, you can quickly rename another selection of layers using the last renaming pattern you used via Edit > Rename with Last Format (⌥⇧⌘R).
Our latest update to the Mac app introduces Collections, multi-layer renaming, a new save dialog, and a whole host of selection and dragging improvements.
Requires macOS Monterey (12.0.0) or newer
We’ve completely redesigned the Save dialog, giving you more context about your Workspace, easier organization, and full support for the new Collections feature. This is now the default way to save in Sketch. You can still save locally to your Mac via the “Save to Your Mac” button in the Save dialog, or via File > Save to Your Mac. You can also change the default save and open location under the General tab in Sketch’s Settings.
Conversation complete? Discussion done? Details debated? You can now mark comments (and their replies) as resolved in the web and Mac apps. Resolved comments disappear from view, but you can always bring them back (and reopen them) via the View menu in the Mac app or the drop-down menu in the web app’s sidebar.
