Construct a nontrivial symplectomorphism of cotangent bundle
I have tried to prove that exercise 4 on the page 20, Lectures on Symplectic Geometry, Ana Cannas da Silva, which is available on professor's website: https://people.math.ethz.ch/~acannas/Papers/lsg.pdf
Let $X$ be an arbitrary $n$-manifold, and let $M=T^{*}X$ its cotangent bundle. Let h be a smooth function on $X$. Define $tau_h : M to M$ by setting $$tau_h(x,xi)=(x,xi+dh_x).$$ Prove that $$tau_h^{*} alpha= alpha + pi^*dh$$ where $pi$ is the projection map $pi: M to X$ defined by $(x,xi) to x$. Deduce that $$tau_h^{*} omega= omega,$$ i.e., $tau_h$ is a symplectomorphism.
I haven't discovered a possible pattern of proof yet. Any hints or suggestions?

$alpha_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=xi(u)$, $d(tau_h)_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=(u,v+d^2h_x(u))$, this implies that $tau_h^*alpha_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=alpha_{(x,xi+dh_x)}(u,v+dh^2_x.u)=(xi+dh_x)(u)=xi(u)+dh_x(u)$
$=alpha_{(x,xi)}(u)+ pi^*dh_x(u)$.
We deduce that $tau_h^*alpha=alpha+pi^*dh$.
$tau_h^*alpha=alpha+pi^*dh$ implies that $(dtau_h^*alpha)=dalpha+d(pi^*dh)$
This is equivalent to say that:
$tau_h^*(dalpha)=dalpha+pi^*(d(d(h))$, since $d^2=0$, and $-dalpha=omega$, we deduce that $tau_h^*omega=omega$.
Why $tau_h^*alpha_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=xi(u)+dh_x(u)$ implies that $tau_h^*alpha_{(x,xi)}=xi+dh_x$? Is it independent from $v$?

yes, it is independent of $v$, $alpha_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=xi(u)$ where $(u,v)in T_{(x,xi)}T^*X$.

For any $p = (x ,xi) in M$ and $u in T_pM$
$$begin{aligned} (tau_h alpha)^*_p (u) &= alpha_{tau_h (p)} ((dtau_h)_p(u))\&= alpha_{(x, xi + dh_x)} ((dtau_h)_p(u)) \&= (xi + dh_x)(dpi_p circ (dtau_h)_p(u))\&= (xi + dh_x) (underbrace{d(pi circ tau)_p}_{dpi_p} (u))\&=xi (dpi_p (u)) + dh_{pi(p)} (dpi_p (u)) \&= alpha_p (u) + (pi^*dh)_p (u)
end{aligned}$$
as required.
Finally, we see that
$$tau_h^* omega = tau_h^* (- dalpha) = - d(tau^*alpha) = -d (alpha + pi^*dh) = underbrace{-dalpha}_{omega} - pi^*underbrace{d^2h}_0= omega$$

$alpha_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=xi(u)$, $d(tau_h)_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=(u,v+d^2h_x(u))$, this implies that $tau_h^*alpha_{(x,xi)}(u,v)=alpha_{(x,xi+dh_x)}(u,v+dh^2_x.u)=(xi+dh_x)(u)=xi(u)+dh_x(u)$
$=alpha_{(x,xi)}(u)+ pi^*dh_x(u)$.
We deduce that $tau_h^*alpha=alpha+pi^*dh$.
$tau_h^*alpha=alpha+pi^*dh$ implies that $(dtau_h^*alpha)=dalpha+d(pi^*dh)$

For any $p = (x ,xi) in M$ and $u in T_pM$
