July 2018
What's New
- Symbols marked for export generate assets in Inspect: You can now mark a symbol for export one time, and each instance of the symbol will appear as downloadable in Inspect.

May 2018
What's New
- Increased speed: Craft Manager version 1.0.63 introduced significant improvements to the syncing process, reducing overall average sync time by as much as 50% (and often more!).
- Unchanged artboards are not synced: Along with general sync improvements, a new feature has been introduced that prevents unchanged artboards from syncing, even when syncing all artboards.
- Seamless integration with Anima’s Auto Layout plugin: Craft now integrates with the popular Auto Layout plugin from Anima. When Craft detects that this plugin is installed, it will automatically use Auto Layout’s Prepare for export to other plugins feature behind the scenes. This allows your exports to use all of your specified layout rules correctly without requiring the extra step of preparing for export manually.
- Improved artboard preview during publishing: An improved preview window for published artboards has been added to Craft Manager, making it clearer which artboards will be synced.
What's Fixed

April 2018
What's New
- Automatically rename duplicate artboards: Currently, Craft relies on the names of artboards to uniquely identify them within InVision. Therefore, if multiple artboards have the same name, only one of the duplicate artboards will be synced. This has resulted in what appears to be sync failures or hotspots going missing. To prevent confusion, Craft will now detect when artboards with duplicate names are being synced, and it will offer to rename them for you by adding incrementing numerals to end of the duplicate artboard names.
- Freehand sign in through Craft Manager: The sign-in flow for the Craft Freehand tool with Sketch is now part of Craft Manager. This should streamline authentication and make it more intuitive.
- Improved resizing for straight lines in Freehand:The behavior of the resizing handles used to resize relatively straight lines you've drawn has improved, making it easier to change the length of your line (or a thin shape) without changing the proportions of the line.Hold Shift while drawing a new line for a perfect straight angle!
What's Fixed
- Sketch crashing when using Craft Prototype: Pressing the C key to create hotspots was crashing Sketch in some instances.
- Large Sketch files failing to sync: Sketch files with numerous complex pages and symbols could get stuck when detaching symbols, causing the sync process to fail.
- Craft crashing when accessing preferences on OS X El Capitan: Accessing the preferences for Craft in the menu bar on OS X El Capitan caused Craft to crash.
- Text character spacing values ignoring decimal values in Inspect: Character spacing values for text fields synced to InVision, using Craft Sync, were ignoring decimal values in Inspect.
- Wrong thumbnail displayed when initially syncing a new prototype: When syncing a new prototype, Craft was displaying a thumbnail from a previously synced prototype.
- Artboards prefixed with a hyphen/minus symbol (-) are no longer excluded from sync: The ability to exclude artboards prefixed with (-) from syncing with Craft is now supported by the new Craft Manager publishing flow.
- Craft Manager window displayed in incorrect location for vertically stacked monitors: The Craft Manager window no longer opens at the bottom of the screen if multi-screen setup is vertically stacked.

February 2018
What's New
- Craft Manager publishing: We released a new version of Craft Manager, moving the sync experience out of Sketch and into Craft Manager. This reduced complexity, improved performance, and generally made the syncing experience more stable. You can now also continue working in Sketch while we sync in the background.
- Auto save: You can now elect to automatically save a file before syncing which will prevent you always from being prompted to save if there are unsaved changes.
