Rollback management for Designer and Connect formats let you restore previous versions in the blink of an eye.

New:

  • Improved preview of images in Designer
You no longer have to use dynamic images with a resolution of 300dpi for the preview to be identical to the result after composition. In previous releases, the Designer always required 300dpi images. Because the composition process wasn't always reacting in the same way, the final result (PDF, printed copy, etc.) wasn't always identical to the preview in the Designer.
