• Color Sets are a new method of creating and storing palettes of swatches
- If you're upgrading from a previous version of Sketchbook, your custom color palette will populate as a new Color Set
- You can drag and drop colors from the swatches in the top section of the Color Editor to populate palettes
- In the Color Library you can create a new blank set or load one of our presets as a starting point, including a Basic starter set, a Variety collection, and a set of Greys

- On iPad, pin the Color Editor from the Color Puck to remain open while you draw
- Removal of Copic library and markers – these had to be removed as they were licensed to Autodesk and that license did not transfer to us
• Removal of iCloud from the Gallery. The connection to iCloud breaks when an app transfers between developers. If you have been saving to iCloud, all your files are still there! There is a dialog explaining what to do to access your files that appears on first launch, and also the first time you go to the Gallery.
• New “Save” and “Files” options in the main menu. Because of the iCloud break, it was necessary to create a way for people to bring those files back into Sketchbook. We took this opportunity to expand where and how you can save and export your files.
- You can now import and export Sketchbook files to your device, iCloud, and other third-party cloud services
• Other data-related changes
- The Import from iTunes option has been retired
- A close button has been added to the Gallery. When the Gallery is dismissed, the canvas reverts to the last open sketch.
• Developer update from Autodesk to Sketchbook, Inc. Updated icon, about box, links to support, and dropping the internal cap in the app name
• Sketchbook no longer collects any personal data, so there is no request to opt-in for personal data usage
· We removed the splash screen that appeared upon startup, so there is no longer a need or even an option for logging in.
· NOTE: If you are not a SketchBook Pro (enterprise) user and created an Autodesk Account, you may want to delete it. See the article Delete Your Autodesk Account for instructions for how to do this.
We added new features to further help with drawing. We looked at what you use in SketchBook desktop that wasn't in mobile and beyond.
· Perspective Guides, with 1, 2, and 3 point perspective guides, a snapping toggle, vanishing point lock, and horizon line visibility.
· Customize, Infinite, and Constrained Grid tools.
· Curve ruler, for drawing curves you can’t get with the Ellipse tool.
· Support for the new Apple Pencil (2nd generation), which includes its double-tap functionality.
· Support for Scan Sketch for the new iPad.
We've made some pretty impactful improvements, the biggest being the removal of the trial. You'll also find a fix or two, as well.
There is no more trial version.
We created a new **Welcome** splash screen, so there's no longer a need to log in to use SketchBook.
The Blog location changed under our noses, but it has been updated. You can access it, once again, from within the app.
Apple Pencil input now works within the Welcome screen.
The **No Network** message no longer appears prematurely, and we added a **Back** button to retry after a real network error.
Formatting issues on the account information dialog have been corrected.
We made clicking the Close button a bit easier for all popup dialogs (it was previously a bit small for fingers).
We are excited to announce that the fully featured version of SketchBook is now FREE for everyone!
For iPhone X users, the Gallery now works as expected and iCloud saving has been restored.
Got a new iPhone X? Lucky you. We carved out a notch ;-) in our UI just for you. And squashed a few bugs for everyone else while we were at it.
•You can now drag and drop sketches from the SketchBook Gallery into other apps.
•Dragging an image into the canvas places the image onto a new layer.
We have addressed the following issues in this release:
For iPad users, when creating an account, there is no longer an issue with the app hanging after entering a new password.
For users trying to log in using Google+, we’ve added a fix to correct the login failure "Error: disallowed_useragent".
