We've Just released an update for Designer Pro+. The program should let you know on startup that an update is available, or go to Help > Check for Updates.

WebP Import
Designer Pro+ can now import WebP images as well as export them. As with other image file types, you can simply drag and drop a WebP image file onto your document from Explorer, or use File > Import to browse for your WebP file.

New Timelines & Smart Diagrams
These are in the following folders of the Online Content Catalog:

Components > Print & Web Components > Timelines

These components have internal elements that can be easily re-arranged, duplicated or deleted, without spoiling the designs.
