// quick answer

Craft (the InVision plugin for Sketch) can crash or hide its panel; with InVision shut down, sync to InVision no longer works, so remove it and keep designs in Sketch or Figma.

Most likely fix: Bring the panel back

How to fix it

// try these in order, the most common fix is first

  1. FIX 1Bring the panel back

    1. 01In Sketch choose Plugins, then Toggle Craft
    2. 02Check View, then Show Inspector
    3. 03Relaunch Craft Manager

  2. FIX 2Isolate crashes

    1. 01Start Sketch in Safe Mode to run without plugins
    2. 02If Sketch crashes on launch, move the Plugins folder to the Desktop
    3. 03Sketch notes that disabled Craft is still loaded, so uninstall it to rule it out
    Did this fix it?
  3. FIX 3Stop relying on InVision sync
