Our second 2026 update — Edinburgh — introduces multi-paste, perceptual and vibrant gradients, big performance improvements for symbols and replacing Libraries, and some handy prototype player options.
You can now use Paste, Paste Over, and Paste and Replace across multiple selected frames, groups, or layers in a single action. This makes it faster and easier to copy content across containers, paste one item over many existing layers, or replace multiple layers across a document.
We’ve also made paste behavior more predictable. Pasting into a group now centers content within it, instead of preserving coordinates from the original frame. Pasting onto the Canvas (outside of a frame) places content in a more intuitive position related to your selection. If your copied source is out of view, we now place pasted content closer to where you’re currently working, rather than an off-screen location.

There are two new interpolation options for gradients: Perceptual (Oklab) for smooth, natural-looking transitions, and Vibrant (Oklch) for punchier, more saturated work. Both are based on human color perception, unlike Classic (RGB), which uses raw values and can produce muddy or desaturated midpoints.
We remember your most recent interpolation method and that becomes the default for new gradients. Copy CSS includes the right color-space syntax, and gradient previews across the Inspector reflect the method you choose. We also show a gradient’s interpolation method in the web inspector.
Copy Properties (⌥⌘C) now covers a layer’s fills, borders, shadows, inner shadows, effects, size, position and prototyping interactions. You can then use the paste action you need — Paste Fills, Paste Interactions, etc. Hold ⌥ when you paste fills, borders or shadows to Paste and Replace existing styles instead of adding them.
Copy Properties takes the place and shortcut of Copy Style, but we’ve preserved the existing behavior. You can continue to Paste Style with ⌥⌘V, and also copy-paste individual fills, borders, shadows and effects. The only change is that Paste Layout requires you to use Copy Properties now.

There’s a new Follow Selection option in the Preview window’s Frames menu. It’s on by default, and turning it off means you can change your selection without affecting what appears in the Preview window. We’ll remember your choice across documents and relaunches.
There’s also a new Float on Top option under Display Mode. It’s off by default, but enabling it keeps the Preview window on top of other windows.
It’s now easier to see and select frames within your current page, with other pages’ frames in their own submenus. We’ve made sharing a link to a prototype instantaneous and we’ve fixed a number of Preview window-related bugs.
