Keep control when sharing design work with clients and teams

Sketch has introduced granular access controls and preview management for design documents shared via web links. Users can now configure specific permission settings and integration workflows for external client reviews and internal team collaboration.

Verified State Diff

Comparison Mode:
- Previous State
Sharing design work relied on static web previews with limited permission granularity and restricted integration options for external stakeholders.
+ Verified New State
Users can now manage specific access permissions and utilize expanded integration workflows for shared design previews, providing greater control over document visibility.

Impact & Verification Analysis

WHO IS AFFECTED

Designers, product managers, and external clients collaborating on Sketch projects.

WHY IT MATTERS

It reduces friction in the design feedback loop while maintaining intellectual property security, essential for enterprise-level design operations.

Full Fact Overview

The update focuses on the Sketch web-based collaboration layer, specifically targeting the 'Share' functionality. By implementing refined preview controls, Sketch is addressing the architectural need for design versioning and access security when distributing assets to stakeholders outside of the native macOS application environment. This shift moves Sketch from a file-based local workflow toward a more robust, cloud-integrated platform model, allowing for controlled visibility of design iterations without requiring recipients to have a full Sketch license or the native software installed.
