Introduction

When updating your shared design, it is hard to keep track of versions. Then it is handy to show a version indicator. This plugin will update this indicator automatically on every save.

For the version indicator, you can use date/time, use a generated image or use an increment.

Installation

1. Open the .sketchplugin-file
2. Sketch will open and tell you the plugin is installed

Getting started

1. Open a sketch file, or create a new one
2. Insert an artboard
3. Insert a text layer inside this artboard
4. Name it [lastupdated] (or one of the other supported strings)
5. Select a different element on the artboard
6. The text layer will update its value

Usage

The plugin will update text or images in placeholder layers. So you can design your own version indicator.
