# **Update Highlights** - **Accelerate modeling** with the New Data Input Interface now serving as the default for Manufacturing and expanded Building & Infrastructure tools. - **Ensure regional compliance** with updates for UK RICS v2 infrastructure, Australian Green Star, and French RE2020. - **Streamline EPD verification** through new mandatory data fields and automated EcoPlatform branding. - **Improve data connectivity** with automatic INIES ID recognition and updated Revit plugin capabilities. - **Access broader environmental data** with the addition of the ELCD database and CEPE v.4 datasets. # Platform & Software ## [Standardized modeling with the new data input interface](https://help.oneclicklca.com/en/articles/275612-new-data-input-page) The new data input interface is now the default view for all Manufacturing licenses (excluding Japan) and an expanded range of AEC tools, including LCA for NollCO2, DGNB (DE 2023), QNG, PAS2080:2023, and EPD Hub North America. This transition unifies the user experience and provides access to modern workflow tools across more project types.
