Hey there,
Currently, I am facing a very annoying issue while trying to share prototypes. Every time I click share, Sketch prompts this modal:
To work around this, I have to close all the files, and open them again. I really don’t want to create new versions every time I make a small change, those should be automated versions. This process is extremely inefficient and time-consuming.
Thanks!
Hello @RibeiroJose 
,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand your frustration, so allow me to clarify why this happens and the reasoning behind it.
A few versions ago, Sketch changed how documents are saved. The Mac app now helps users save changes without needing the shortcut command S (⌘+S), which was a popular shortcut. Many users, including myself, developed muscle memory for it, and it can be challenging to adapt to the new system.
Previously, pressing command S (⌘+S) multiple times while editing a document would create multiple versions. With the recent update, this shortcut has become obsolete. Sketch now creates an auto-save version automatically, which is temporary and will only stay there until you create an official version or close and reopen the file. Closing and reopening the file does create a new version.
When you make changes to your document and want to share it, Sketch requires you to create an official version before sharing. The auto-save version is not considered official, which is why you see the pop-up message. However, like I mention above, closing all documents is the same as clicking “Create New Version.”
We appreciate your feedback and understand how this can be annoying when expecting a more streamlined experience. I’ll make sure to pass this along to the team for future improvements.
I hope this helps clarify the situation.
Cheers 
Hi @Cris ,
Thanks for the response!
I can give a small example of why I don’t think this is the way to go. Two days ago, I shared a prototype with my team. After sharing it, I made a few updates to that specific prototype. The next day, I noticed that the prototype wasn’t updated. Was this because I didn’t close my file or share it again? Do you guys really think this is an efficient, modern way to go? I think you need to consider the common use case for designers. I really don’t want to think about closing all my files or clicking "share again’ to create a new version. This slows down our processes, and we are not informed about this.
From the user perspective, there’s no software feedback or communication that I need to close a file to update it. These updates should be automatic, not manual, in my opinion. This is not innovative, it’s a step back in seamless processes.
Again thank you for your response, and I hope my feedback helps you.
Cheers
