# Designs

The **Designs** form provides a historical overview of Lasernet designs, and it can be accessed in two ways:

- Navigate to **Lasernet** > **Common** > **Reports**, select the desired report, and click **Designs** in the **Configuration** group of the **Setup** ribbon.
- Navigate to **Lasernet** > **Setup** > **Overview** > **Designs**.

In this section, we will choose the first option and access the **Designs** form via the **Reports** list page. Here, all Lasernet Developer form designs are stored locally.

These designs can be imported or created using functions such as **What’s used** and **Update design**.

The following image shows two designs imported from Lasernet. The **Description** they receive is “Imported design”.

The report named **Version3** has been created by clicking **Update design** > **Create new design version**. This saves the new version with the **Description** “Updated design in D365 Design updated”.
