Sketch 51 [En]

Library Styles Text Styles and Layer Styles defined in Libraries are now available in all documents, just like Symbols are.
Headers & Footers Prototypes can now include fixed elements such as headers and footers that will stay above the rest of the content as you scroll.
Arrows We’ve significantly improved the appearance of arrows and other markers on paths.
Improved Performance Sketch is now more responsive when editing complex documents, rendering the Canvas, and selecting Symbols with many overrides.
