Along with all our handles, the pointers and tooltips have all been modernised and better describe the action that the handle will do.

UX Improvements

As well as modernising our UI, we've made a number of quality of life and UX improvements to the editor, improving the scrolling and selection behaviour. Previously you were not able to scroll past the bottom of the last page, which made it difficult to awkward to work on the last page. This has now changed so you can scroll past it and be centralised to your browser window.

Copy & Paste Improvements

We've implemented a new copy and paste mechanism which means you will no longer be limited to internal copying/pasting. Rather, your browser will (only once) ask for permission to read your clipboard..

Afterwards, you can paste straight into Xara from an external source. Currently this is available for Chrome and Edge only. You can revoke access again but clicking on the little icon next to the URL and changing the settings there.

File Picker Reliability Improvements

Along with our UX improvements, we've also improved the reliability and performance of the file picker when searching for your files. No longer should you see any constant loading screens!
