Sketch integrates AI-assisted symbol management and versioned design suggestions

Design · 3 min read

Sketch has introduced new tooling that helps teams maintain cleaner symbol libraries by using a model to detect near-duplicate components and propose consolidated variants. The system surfaces candidate merges, explains the proposed canonical properties, and previews impact across artboards so teams can accept or reject changes in context.

Additionally, Sketch now stores versioned AI suggestions in the file history. Designers can browse past suggestions and rerun or rollback changes, giving teams a safer way to adopt automation without losing human control. Sketch said these features are especially useful for companies with legacy files accumulated over years.

The product also includes a "cleanup assistant" that flags unused assets and suggests tokenization for recurring colors and spacings. Sketch positioned the update as a way to keep design systems healthy and manageable as teams scale.
