Interface Refresh

Enjoy slick controls, a modern look, and enhanced performance under the hood.

The interface has been streamlined to work left to right → data, canvas, reports. Important tools are top and center.

Customize your screen with resizable panels, configurable apps, and helpful hints.

Better Tool Panels

Enjoy collapsible and resizeable left and right panels to make your workspace comfortable and custom. With the panel redesign, similar functions are organized better as well - find all of your “working” tools on the left, and all of your “reporting” tools on the right.
