Guideline Development Tool (GRADE pro GDT) is an online tool that addresses the integration of the important data and process of the clinical practice guidelines and diagnostic guidelines. GRADE pro GDT has been updated several times, including the whole style of the web page, details of the information recording, management of the conflict of interests, and the presentation and dissemination of the results. The new version of the tool is much more intellectualized and transparent, which makes the guideline development and rating quality of evidence more standardized and scientific. This paper introduces new aspects of this tool with examples.
