Design · 4 min read

The new collaborative prototype mode supports synchronous editing with presence indicators and a focused review sidebar where AI suggestions appear as actionable cards. Designers can accept an AI-suggested spacing system or adjust parameters and reapply the updated rules across artboards.

Sketch's AI-guided layout recommends constraints and breakpoints and can auto-generate variants for device sizes. Export options now include production-ready code snippets and a tokenized stylesheet that integrates with popular design token managers.

Longtime Sketch users welcomed the modernization, citing smoother handoffs and fewer manual adjustments. Sketch emphasized interoperability and open formats to make it easier for teams to transition between tools.
