# [AIAG Core Tools Support™ (CTS) Software Update: New APQP/CP Forms and Templates Available!](https://blog.aiag.org/aiag-core-tools-support-cts-software-update-new-apqp/cp-forms-and-templates-coming-soon)

With this year's release of the new [APQP 3rd Edition and standalone Control Plan](https://go.aiag.org/apqp-cp-presale?hsLang=en-us), our [Core Tools Support™ (CTS) software](https://www.aiag.org/store/core-tools-software/details?cts-hd) has received a critical update!

Added at the beginning of March, both the APQP 3rd Edition form and Control Plan 1st Edition template are now available in CTS. While the previous template for Control Plan is still accessible along with the new version, the APQP 2nd Edition form has been removed and replaced with a backward-compatible version.

*(Note: Since the new, downloadable APQP form has no contradictions to the previous version in CTS, you're able to use it both before and after transitioning to the new edition.)*
