Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes
This section lists public API changes that were introduced in Aspose.Words 19.11. It includes not only new and obsoleted public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in Aspose.Words which may affect existing code. Any behavior introduced that could be seen as regression and modifies the existing behavior is especially important and is documented here.

taskPane.Width = 300;
taskPane.WebExtension.Reference.Id = "wa102923726";
taskPane.WebExtension.Reference.Version = "1.0.0.0";
taskPane.WebExtension.Reference.StoreType = WebExtensionStoreType.OMEX;
taskPane.WebExtension.Reference.Store = "th-TH";
taskPane.WebExtension.Properties.Add(new WebExtensionProperty("mailchimpCampaign", "mailchimpCampaign"));
taskPane.WebExtension.Bindings.Add(new WebExtensionBinding("UnnamedBinding_0_1506535429545", WebExtensionBindingType.Text, "194740422"));
