Annotations
As always, you can thread discussions, add any emoji and use markdown. Annotations are a great way to collaborate on a design. You can share comments and discuss details in the context of your design. Better yet, you can create, comment and reply.
Add Annotations
To add an annotation, press “N” or click the “New Comment button" in the web app’s toolbar, then click on the point on Canvas where you want your annotation to appear. Once you’ve left your comments, you can reply to add more detail or discuss with others right inside that same annotation by mentioning them (using @) and sending them a message. Comments support emojis and basic Markdown to get your meaning across.
Artboard-level Comments
Annotations work like Artboard-level comments in the Mac app, except they don't disappear when you move an Artboard around. If you add an annotation to a point on an Artboard, that annotation will stay attached to that Artboard even if someone else moves it around in the Mac app. Of course, if there's anything wrong with an existing annotation, delete it and start fresh!
Navigating Annotations
All the annotations on a page are in the Comments tab in the sidebar of the web app. Clicking on any comment in the list will take you right to it on Canvas so that you can see it in context. Annotations that have not been viewed or with unread replies will appear as an orange pin on the Canvas. The pin will turn grey when you've viewed an annotation or its replies.
Deleting an Annotations
Deleting an annotation is easy! Just open the annotation, click at the bottom of it, and choose Delete.
Share Links
Sharing feedback is a breeze. Just copy the link to the annotation and share it with the world. When someone clicks on the link, they’ll be taken a right to that annotation in the web app, thanks to Canvas view. They’ll jump directly to focus on the annotation itself in context, whether on an Artboard or somewhere on the Canvas.
Notifications
Annotations are great for adding your voice to a conversation, but sometimes you want to read updates without being notified. Sketch has made it easy for you to manage your notifications. When you create an annotation or contribute to the conversation in a thread, you automatically follow it and receive notifications for any new replies, but you can quickly turn off notifications.
- To turn off notifications for the entire document, click on the bell icon at the top of the Comment tab in the sidebar. Click on "unfollow" a specific conversation by opening the relevant annotation. If you want to receive notifications, click "Follow.”

Templates
Turn any document into a reusable template that everyone in your workspace may use. Also, Sketch has added many templates so you can get a head start on your next project. From various free, customizable templates, including presentations, social posts, mockups, and business cards, all are elegant and ready to use.
- Go to the workspace document window, and select templates from the left menu. Then, click on a template to open the document.

Import Figma Files to Sketch
You can now open Figma files in Sketch by going to File, open Local Document and selecting your .fig file or by dragging and dropping it onto the Sketch dock icon. The process will be handled automatically.
Conclusion
You know all about annotations, which are a great way to communicate between team members and ensure you're on track with a project. This feature has been in the works for a while, and I'm delighted that Sketch has finally added it.
