Revit 2025.2: What's New!

Revit 2025.2: Key Updates and How to Navigate the New Features 

The Revit 2025.2 update is here, bringing some new interface changes and dialog box enhancements that you'll want to familiarize yourself with. This article will walk you through the most significant changes in this release and help you stay ahead of the curve. For a comprehensive list of changes, be sure to visit the "What’s new in Revit 2025" section in Revit Help. 

When opening Revit 2025.2, you will now see the new Revit Home screen by default, giving you the ability to search, sort, or filter your recent files, as well as view them in a list or grid view. To return to the legacy home screen, toggle off New Revit Home in the lower-left corner, as shown below. 

The Project Browser now has eight buttons along the top of the tool palette that will filter categories by displaying only the category associated with the selected button. There are now buttons for Views (all), Legends, Schedules, Sheets (All), Families, Groups, and Revit Links. By default, the All button is selected, which will show all the categories that you are familiar with in the Project Browser. The buttons correlate with the icons you are already familiar with, as shown in the image below. 

The Manage Links dialog box has had a facelift. The old Manage Links dialog box had tabs along the top of the dialog box that you could click on to modify any linked file associated with that specific tab. Now the dialog box displays all linked models and imported images by default.  

To see only a specific type of file, expand the Type drop-down list in the upper-left corner of the dialog box and select from the list of categories. 

To modify any of the files, you first need to select one from the list. Then, depending on which type of file you select, the modify options display tools like Reload, Unload, and Remove towards the top of the dialog box, as shown in the image below.
