Save as Template

Document creation has now been made much simpler with the introduction of Template saving. Similar to when you select any of our templates to edit, you can now create your own through any document you have.

Simply open any document, make your desired changes, then click on File > Save as Template..

You can then find your newly created template under Team Templates in the File Picker.

Secure Connection for Shared Documents

Documents that are shared are now served securely (https), further improving Xara's security standards.

Editor Improvements

We've improved the performance of the document editor, you should see Xara Cloud be more responsive, faster and on the whole a more pleasant experience.

Responding to feedback, marquee select is now changed to be instantly after you drag. This means you now no longer have to click, hold and drag to select multiple objects. Rather, simply click and drag as you would normally in Windows or Mac.

Scrollbars are now more visible and have a border, to help users who possibly may not have a scroll wheel (laptop users for example) scroll through their document. They are also permanently visible on screen.
