What it does

Today, on Principle's first birthday, we're releasing version 2.0! Principle 2.0 adds Components, and changes how updates work. Principle has grown since it was first released 52 weeks ago. We added video layers, audio, shadows, hover events, Sketch import and much more in that short time. As Principle grew, so did the designs that people made with it. For large designs it could become unmanagable to edit files with a huge number of artboards. Components are our solution. Components are special layers that contain their own artboards, transitions and animations. Designs that used to take dozens of artboards can now be done with one. Button hover states, looping animations, reusable UI…from principleformac.com
