<h4>An endless list of plugins for Sketch</h4>
<p>I found my self-taking longer than I should to find the plugin I needed from my plugin list, time to have a Sketch plugin clear out!</p>
<p>Here’s a list of some plugins I’ve kept that contribute to my daily workflows. I hope at least one can save you some time.✌️</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/DWilliames/PDF-export-sketch-plugin">📕 PDF Export</a> by <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidWilliames">David Williames</a></h3>
<p>Export all pages, current page or selected artboards into a PDF — based on a range of settings.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4X3t1lUP9UZ8YmuPAy2Xtg.png"></p>
<p>Whether it’s for exporting a full content strategy document or a couple of screens, PDF Export has helped to reduce the number of tools I use. Creating hyperlinks or having fancy page numbers using InDesign or Keynote has become redundant to me.</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/d4rekanguok/instance-locator">Instance Locator by Derek Nguyen</a></h3>
<p>Locate instances of a selected symbol and navigate to them, anywhere in the doc.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/865/1*iQwxP2wzjxQUcLuorWo7Qg.png"></p>
<p>Since nested symbols have become such a common element within my Sketch files, I use the Instance Locator plugin almost as a checklist. Once I’ve edited a symbol master, it gives me peace of mind to quickly check each instance throughout the document to make sure it’s not conflicting with anything.</p>
<p>When it gets to the stage of cleaning up a Sketch file I tend to use ‘Unused Style Remover’ plugin (read below), however, there always seems to be the odd stray symbol that’s available 😡. Using Instance Locator helps to locate the symbol straight away!</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/cshdllr/Notes">Notes</a> by <a href="https://medium.com/u/437b2b1f96d1">Jason Cashdollar</a></h3>
<p>A sketch plugin for taking notes</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*iqneIPFaR3p1nIIE5dllJQ.png"></p>
<p>Leaving a note within an artboard has been handy to let myself know where I left off and what I wanted to do next in the next design session. Quick, easy and obvious!</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/rodi01/RenameIt">Rename It</a> by <a href="https://medium.com/u/4cf81a6bf40a">Rodrigo Soares</a></h3>
<p>Keep your Sketch files organized, batch rename layers and artboards.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*IW-58hH1k55DWLORM7P_aw.gif"></p>
<p>The find and replace feature is an absolute winner in my books and using the keywords cuts time off my workflow when batch renaming.</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/andrewfiorillo/sketch-palettes">Sketch Palettes</a> by <a href="https://medium.com/u/324ec53439e1">Andrew Fiorillo</a></h3>
<p>Sketch plugin that lets you save and load colors in the color picker.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ZSRhyRo5xgN2I2lK9Kcs_Q.png"></p>
<p>Saving colour palettes per job has become so handy and Sketch Palettes seems to be one of the first plugins I use when I start a new Sketch file.</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/sonburn/symbol-organizer">Symbol Organizer</a> by <a href="https://medium.com/u/4742b9fb1bb6">Jason Burns</a></h3>
<p>Organize your symbols page and layer list, based on the symbol names.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/571/1*tqEvYX2c-dqG1bvau-aGqg.png"></p>
<p>Probably my most used plugin especially as I’m creating so many UI libraries at the moment. Keeping the symbols page organised helps any designer or developer opening the file to understand where everything is.</p>
<h4>That’s all for now!</h4>
<p>I know there’s a lot of plugins I haven’t mentioned here, but this is my go-to list I use most times when I’m using Sketch. I’m sure this list will grow in the future so be sure to follow if you would like an update.</p>
<p>I have a lot of opinions, this is the first of hopefully many more publications to come. A Massive thanks goes out to the makers of these plugins, you’ve all done an amazing job! 🙌</p>
<p>Thanks for dropping by!</p>
