Hello, I’ve recently updated from a legacy version of sketch (Sketch 93) to Sketch 2025.3.4, is there a way to Show/Hide all Slices globally anymore? I used to be able to hit (CTRL + E) which would toggle this on and off, but now I get a system alert sound every time I try to input that combo. The option also used to be in the VIEW > CANVAS section of the menu, but now that option is no longer there where the other “Show […]” options are located.
I can still individually go slice by slice and input (Shift + CMD + H) but that would take forever. Is there a solution this? Not sure why this was removed from the menu.
Hello @NaeBalm , thank you for your post and welcome to the forum!
We removed the ability to hide Slices, since some of our recent updates and enhancements have made Slices a bit redundant, so to speak. With the ability to Export Frames we made the decision to remove the option.
However, I’d like to hear your experience here. Could you tell us more about the situation where you’re missing this feature so we can understand the use case better? We had some related feedback back in the day, but most users were happy with the workarounds that we offered (involving the use of Frames and its Clip Contents property).
Hi JorgeF, thanks for the information,
It would be ideal to at least keep the toggle option for users converting from legacy forms of Sketch. I work for a gaming company where we have many bitmap graphics assets that are already slices. When opening up our legacy files, the numerous slice borders are a bit distracting to the overall view.
Additionally, having slices was a nice way of clearly seeing at-a-glance where the image bounds lay across multiple images and screens to determine consistency. Is there a quick way to view the bounds of ALL image based Frames? Would the Graphic option be a better alternative, and how would one go about converting all slices to this?
Moreover, does this redundancy mean the removal of slices altogether in the future ?
