Update Design Results along with Design History allow for better management of the progression of a design. Design History is optional providing a continuous history of all the changes occurring during multiple import/export transactions.

Update Design Results helps to review changes on a more granular level before importing. This is especially crucial when changes so minute graphically to be noticed have an immense impact on the design's integrity.

Design History, when enabled, allows for previous states of a design to be recreated. For example the design just before committing a translation transaction. As the tool name implies, the design process is recorded in a history that can be reviewed at any time.
