While we may be focused on stability and performance for this release and the next, we still have some exciting improvements to show you. When you are done here, make sure to check out the changelog to see what else we have been working on. Let's get started.
CAD IMPROVEMENTS
REPAIR MANAGER IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements have been made to Repair Manager that allow you to forward propagate some references. The new Replace reference option allows you to replace a broken reference in the current feature, and propagate that replaced reference downstream to any features that use that reference.SHORTCUT KEY IMPROVEMENTS
You can now add Section view, Mass and section properties, and Measure and section properties to your shortcut toolbar. This gives you quick access to some of Onshape's most popular features.RENDER STUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
SCENE LIST IMPROVEMENTS
You will find new, more advanced, Scene list filters in Render Studio. These filters include the ability to filter by criteria like appearance and decals. This allows you to quickly filter the scene list. You will also find the scene list has been split and now has two panes. The top pane contains the scene geometry, as well as Transforms and Projectors, while the bottom pane contains Appearances.RESET APPEARANCE ON FACES
If faces have an appearance set in the Part Studio, and their appearance is changed in Render Studio, they can now be reset to the original Part Studio appearance via the Scene list or graphics area context menu.FOCAL LENGTH FIELD OF VIEW
You can now define Field of view by focal length. In the past, this was limited to angle.LEARNING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS
NEW LOCALIZED TRAINING
You will find two new localized offerings available in the learning center. The Onshape Hands-on Test Drive is now offered with Japanese subtitles and text and Onshape Bootcamp is offered with Traditional Chinese subtitles and text.
Please take a moment to try out these new features and improvements and leave your comments below. For a detailed list of all the changes in this update, please see the changelog.
Remember: The updates listed here are now live for all users when creating new Documents. Over the next few days, these features will also be available in Documents created before this update.

Focal Length Control,🤓 yeih!
CAD Engineering Manager
Render studio split will definitely big for retaining sanity when setting up a appearances!
Replace reference could be huge in some cases (assuming it works for "bodies")! Also hopefully coming to sketch entities soon?
Loving all the little quality of life feature changes and fixes!
Looking forward to even better performance!
Is there any areas specifically that we will most likely notice significant improvement?
Solid release. I like the direction repair manager is heading.
