Your gallery

The gallery is the home screen: a card for every drawing you have made. Two tabs sit along the bottom, Home and Community.

Finding things

  • Tap the search icon and type. The list filters by drawing title as you go.
  • Tap the grid/list icon to switch between a grid of previews and a plain list.
  • Pull down to refresh.

Tags

Tags are how you group drawings. A fresh install starts with two, Personal and Doodles.

  1. Long-press a card to enter selection mode.
  2. Tap the tag icon in the top bar.
  3. Type a name in the field and tap the check to create a tag, then tick the ones you want.
  4. Use the pencil to rename a tag and the bin to delete it.

Tags appear as chips on each card, and each one becomes an entry in the navigation drawer — open the drawer with the hamburger icon, top left. A tag you are filtering by also shows as a chip above the grid; tap it to clear the filter.

Working with several drawings

  • Long-press to select, then tap other cards to add to the selection. The title becomes a count.
  • Publish and Versions need exactly one drawing selected.
  • The export options work on the whole selection at once — see Export and import.
  • The back arrow in the top bar clears the selection.

Deleting

Tap the bin in the top bar while a drawing is selected, then confirm. Deleting is immediate — there is no trash to recover from.

Version history

Sketchable keeps the last eight versions of every drawing, so you can undo a change that went wrong without losing the rest.

  1. Select exactly one drawing and choose Versions from the menu.
  2. Each version shows its number and when it was made.
  3. The menu on a version offers Preview— which opens it read-only — and Restore, which makes it your current drawing.

Versions cannot be edited or deleted by hand.
