A fresh, modern workspace
A cleaner, easier workspace
Tools™ now feels more like a working environment and less like a traditional reference library.
The side menu stays open while you work, helping you move between categories, features and project information with fewer clicks.
What this means for you:
- Find the right information faster
- Spend less time navigating
- Keep your focus on the project
- Access tools and references in one place

Faster platform performance
Faster platform performance
Tools™ now runs on an upgraded performance and graphics engine.
Pages load faster, information is easier to explore, and actions such as creating links, QR codes, and PDFs take less time.
PDFs that previously took 30 to 60 seconds can now generally be generated in under 10 seconds.
Less waiting. More doing.
👀 Upgrade from Free to Pro and make every project lookup faster.
