Please see some of the changes this update brings below:

• The Critical Path and Network Trace tools have a new look.
  • The new interface allows the tools to accommodate for different display resolution and scaling options.
  • Each the tool’s menu options are streamlined and accessible in a navigation pane, so extra features and settings are more visible.
