🆕 Things you’ve been asking us for 🆕
Selection colors, independent borders, corner smoothing controls, a new eyedropper with Color Variable support, and 150+ improvements and fixes.
Here’s what’s in our latest update — Dublin 🧵 ↓
We’re kicking off the year with four new features — starting with previews!
With previews, you can choose the pages and prototypes you want to share with clients, while keeping the rest of your document private. 🧵↓

Great with an MCP server
We shipped our MCP server back in October last year. Here are five (of many!) things we’ve been using it for 🧵 ↓
(We’re big Claude Code fans here, but you can use any MCP-compatible client)
We’ve got a biiiig update for you. A complete redesign of Sketch. Maybe you’ve tried the beta, maybe you’ve seen the teasers. Now you can update and try it all for real.
And there’s more! 🧵 ↓
🌿 hola 〜 @sketch recently launched a new version including a lot of new and exciting features 〜
the web app now includes fresh dedicated panels with better information hierarchy to improve the handoff experience ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و 💛

🆕 Our next major update is here — and it’s got glass in it.
Yep, that glass. Non-solid, lowercase-G glass. It works right out of the box (as all glass should?) but you can also tweak every parameter. It’s a lot of fun.
And that’s not all! ↓
There’s a new option for automatic concentric corners — based on your layer’s distance to the nearest container. Now you can unbookmark that tweet with the formula you refer to. 🧵↓
We promised a beta with progressive blurs today — and it’s available right now!
Download it from https://t.co/HuppVy1zkB or open your current build and follow the update prompts.
But, that’s not the whole story with this release… 🧵
Remember when we said auto layout was coming to Sketch? It’s here. It’s called Stacks, and it’s part of our biggest release ever — out now.
There’s a lot to cover, so buckle up and we’ll give you a tour.
Also, stick around for a surprise at the end of the thread 👀
Let’s go ↓
this is what the changelog of the next @sketch release look like at the moment — and it barely covers the key features yet, this is mostly the “small” bits
Since our Stacks sneak peek went down so well, we asked @baxterma to give you another! This time, it’s some big improvements to inserting and swapping Components with the Command Bar. Some are in beta now, the rest are coming soon. Full details on the forum: https://t.co/LRk2WpC4bZ
Starting off the year with another sneak peek: Components in the command bar and the new replace popover!
Grab some 🍿 and come check out what my friend Alasdair (🎙️), me and the team have been up to.
