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).

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.

We’ve added a new Labs tab to Sketch’s settings, where you can enable experimental features. These features may not be 100% complete, but they’re ready for you to try and share your feedback on to help us shape them. We’re kicking things off with a big one — Smart Layout in groups. Enable it today to try Smart Layout outside of Symbols and let us know what you think.

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.

Say hello to commenting on the Mac! Share your feedback and thoughts right in the context of your designs while you‘re designing. Now, no matter where you comment or reply, your conversations will always stay in sync.

You can now turn any document into a template that everyone in your Workspace can use — ideal for repeatable tasks or creating consistent document setups. We’ve also added a bunch of beautiful, free and customizable templates — from presentations and social posts, to mockups and business cards — to help kickstart your next project. Check them out in the Workspace window (⌘O).

We’re hard at work on improving Smart Layout and, in this update, you’ll find that right-to-left and bottom-to-top directions now behave exactly like their reverse counterparts (left-to-right and top-to-bottom).

When you hide nested Symbol instances, we now preserve and remove spacing in a way that’s more reliable and predictable. Stay tuned for more updates!

When you work with lots of Libraries, places like the Insert window can get a little crowded. So now, you can just enable the Libraries you need for specific documents—keeping only the Components you need. Best of all? Anyone who opens the document will have these libraries automatically installed and available.

This year we’ve been busy working on new features to give designers and the people around them better and faster ways to create their best work. But unless you’re using Sketch every day, you might’ve missed some of our big releases. So here’s a quick recap of some of the coolest improvements we’ve added to Sketch in the last 12 months.

Say hello to better Symbol overrides in the latest Sketch update. We’ve redesigned the Inspector panel to group overrides by type, so it’s faster to view and change things like colors, text values, Styles and nested Symbols — as well as font properties. To make things even easier, you can now double-click to dive down into Symbol instances and select individual layers within.

Ideate and test faster with color overrides. Whether it’s a fill, border, shadow, or text layer — you can override its color or Color Variable in the Inspector. Plus, you can now view all your colors in a grid or a list view, and hover over them to get handy information, like names or HEX values.
