We are improving InVision by squashing bugs and releasing new features every day. Here's an account of what we've accomplished this month.

- Percentage-based adjustments for X, Y, and Width properties: Using the arrow keys to increase or decrease percentage values on X, Y, and Width properties now increments and decrements by more expected values.
- Cursor behavior after deleting path layer: The cursor is now updating as expected after a path layer has been deleted.
- Resizing masked layers: The issue that was preventing masked layers from getting resized from the Inspector panel has been corrected.

- Monitoring and alerting: We increased our monitoring and alerting of performance issues so we can more quickly determine when the product is experiencing difficulties.
- Stability improvements: We added numerous stability improvements on our back-end to make InVision more reliable.
Craft + Sync
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.
Bug Fixes
- Sync issue caused by emojis in layer names: Using emojis in Sketch layer names no longer prevents Inspect from properly processing the file.

- Support keyboard shortcuts for syncing: Using the Ctrl+Shift+A and Crtl+Shift+S shortcuts now initiate sync immediately.
- @2x modifier added to assets despite @1x option being selected: Craft no longer adds a @2x modifier when the @1x setting is enabled in sync preferences.
Design System Manager (DSM)
What's New
- DSM early access: You can now access DSM via a button at the top of the page.
- DSM pop up: You can now see a DSM Early Access pop-up when you first visit InVision product.
