Dear Xara Cloud+ / Pro+...

@Rob-Xar - thank you for the update & release notes - https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...4&goto=newpost & http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/designer-pro-plus/.

Having a Patch Release is now a benign experience.

When, however, might we get the long overdue PDF Help File updated?

The CHM Help File has its place but it is very limiting having it tied to the XDA, close the XDA and you lose access to the Help file.
Yes I can visit C:\Program%20Files\Xara\Xara%20Designer%20Pro+\Hel pAndSupport\ENG\xarax.chm directly.
Yes I can even launch a page with mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Xara\Xara%20Desig ner%20Pro+\HelpAndSupport\ENG\xarax.chm::/8292.htm; noting it is presented in Internet Explorer and that such a URI is implicit in a couple of hijacks.
The CHM format is compile HTML pages and was replaced with new generation of Windows Help called Microsoft Assistance Markup Language since Windows Vista.

Decompiling with hh.exe is possible.
I used a utility for this a couple of versions ago and built a ToC in MS Excel using the data in #STRINGS & #URLSTR.
I even found File > Import from Web address worked with file:\\\C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X\16\HelpAndSupport\ENG\xarax\3040.htm.

I have even tried importing the PDF Help file to create a web version.

The point of all this is you could rework the information into a Scroll Website and with suitable Anchors have the same linkage possible from the XDA as you have now.
The benefit is one Master and Xara generates the PDF free-of-charge. You supply a XAR file as a download and it can be Exported locally to the HelpandSupport folder or you do that on Patching.
It would also help improve the XDA's DTP capability as you would be facing processing over 700 pages.
