[What's New](https://help.gosolo.io/whats-new?hsLang=en) July 25, 2025 # July 2025 ## RELEASE NOTES - JULY 2025 We're excited to share some fresh updates to make your Solo experience smoother, smarter, and even more powerful! Here's what’s new this release: ### 📐 DirectDesign Updates - *Coming Soon!* We’re excited to share that Direct Design 2.0 (Beta) is now live, bringing a cleaner, smarter interface and brand-new tree editing tools to the solar design experience. Included in this update:  **Updated UI** We've refreshed the DirectDesign interface to make navigating and editing your designs faster and more intuitive. Design tools are now grouped to provide a clearer, more guided design process. **Tree Management** Users will soon be able to add, remove, and adjust trees directly in DirectDesign! This allows for a more visual and accurate representation of shading conditions! While this feature is new to DirectDesign, it isn't new to Solo. Our system has been calculating shade impacts from surrounding trees for a long time. Now, you can model changes like tree trimming or tree removal yourself, without having to request a revision. ![TreeinDirectDesign\_GIF-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter](https://help.gosolo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/TreeinDirectDesign_GIF-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif?width=688&height=375&name=TreeinDirectDesign_GIF-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif) Learn more here:    🔗 [What's New with DirectDesign?](https://help.gosolo.io/whats-new-in-directdesign?hsLang=en) 🔗 [How to Add and Remove Trees](https://help.gosolo.io/how-to-add-and-remove-trees?hsLang=en) 🔗 [Adjusting Trees with DirectDesign](https://help.gosolo.io/adjusting-trees-in-directdesign?hsLang=en) 🔗 [Why are Shade Percentages No Longer Showing?](https://help.gosolo.io/why-are-shade-percentages-no-longer-showing?hsLang=en) ### ✅ Recheck - *Coming Soon!* As more lenders begin to require a Recheck verification, we're making it easier to check for verification, from right within the Solo proposal!
