During the process, special attention was paid to the design of the modes, as well as the possibility for individualization and the design of microinteractions. The focus was also on a clear presentation and intuitive user interfaces, which were revised in detail.

The new concept is based on the approach of mode-oriented use. Users should not have to spend a lot of time choosing the right tool. Therefore, the goal is to group all tools into a few modes and thus create the possibility for faster use.
