Working with slices

To export objects as slices:

1. On the Layers panel, select a layer, group or object and tap Create Slice.
2. On the Slices panel's Options, alter the export format from the pop-up menu (PNG, JPEG, etc.).
3. (Optional) On the Slices panel's Options menu, enable or disable 1x, 2x and/or 3x buttons to export to standard, Retina and/or @3x versions, respectively.
4. Do one of the following, to control what gets exported:
   • Select Export All to export all items.
   • Toggle the visibility of selected items for export: those with the option toggled on will be exported.
   • Tap Export All to export all formats and sizes for all checked slices in the Slices panel.
5. Navigate to and select the storage folder for the exported image(s) and then tap Open.
6. (Optional) On the Slices panel's Menu, select Continuous Export if you want to automatically re-export areas if the document is subsequently changed. This option is only available if Export All was selected above.
