This page lists, in plain words, what changed in the Solavel Portal, the sign-in pages and the way Solavel apps work together between 5 and 12 October 2026. Newest first. Each line says what it means for you and which guide page has the detail.
Read it when something looks different from what you remember, or to brief your team after an update. The guide pages themselves are always written for the current version.
Where to find it
Documentation → Solavel Portal → What's new. For the SolaProjects changes of the same period, see What's new in SolaProjects.
Who it is for: everyone. Items for owners or administrators say so.
10 to 12 October 2026
Everyone
| Change | What it means for you | More |
|---|---|---|
| Apps open in a new tab | Open app on Workspace Home, in Recently opened and on an organization's Apps page now opens the app in a new browser tab, so Workspace Home stays open. If nothing opens, allow pop-ups for solavel.com. | Application launcher, Switching apps and organizations |
| The pin button is visible and instant | The pin on an app card now has a border, fills in when the app is pinned and changes at once; you no longer need to refresh to see Favorites update. If saving fails it flips back. | Workspace Home |
| Choosing your current organization does nothing | Clicking the organization you are already in (in the portal sidebar, and in SolaProjects) just closes the menu. Before, it reloaded the page or jumped to another page. | Switching apps and organizations |
| Preferred language lists all 11 languages | In Account Settings → Preferences you can now save English, العربية, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, Türkçe, اردو or 中文. Before, only English and Arabic were offered. Apps without that language show English. | Account Settings, Account display defaults, Languages |
| Plans page layout | On Billing → Subscriptions the plan cards sit in an even grid whose columns follow the width of the page; no more four cards plus one alone, and every card has the same height with its button at the bottom. | Billing & plans |
| Sign-in and sign-up pages | Microsoft Edge no longer shows a second "eye" in password fields. On short laptop screens the whole form fits without scrolling. On the registration pages the light/dark toggle now also re-colours the order review and plan details, so the light theme is readable. | Sign in and sign up |
| Links by organization number work | Links that use an organization's number, such as /portal/orgs/by-id/{number}/projects, used to fail with a database error; they now open the organization's Apps page. |
Organizations |
| New alerts for warehouse teams | Fulfilment and receiving alerts are now written in English and Arabic and are sent once per real change (7 to 8 October). | Warehouse and purchasing alerts |
| Documentation in every app's account menu (12 October) | The account menu of SolaCount, SolaStock, SolaHR and SolaProjects has a Documentation tile with the black Solavel logo. It opens the guides for the app you are in, in a new tab, and it is there even when you have no other apps. | Switching apps and organizations |
Owners and administrators
| Change | What it means for you | More |
|---|---|---|
| Sales and Purchasing roles for SolaCount | Two new application roles for people who prepare customer or supplier documents without posting or seeing the books. You can choose them when inviting or editing, and add them on Application Roles. | Sales and Purchasing roles, Application roles |
| Roles appear only when the app is ready | The role pickers list a SolaCount role only when SolaCount reports it ready for the organization, including the two new roles. | Application roles |
| Organization role per organization (6 October) | The member editor shows an Organization role on each organization card instead of one role for the whole person. Only an organization owner can change it, and the last owner cannot be removed. | Team, User types and roles |
| Setup reminder for included apps (6 October) | If an app included in your plan still needs its connection reviewed, Billing → Subscriptions shows "Your included apps need connection setup" with Complete connection setup in SolaCount. Existing access stays on. | Billing & plans |
5 to 9 October 2026
| Change | What it means for you | More |
|---|---|---|
| Verify-email banner you can act on (5 October) | The banner on Workspace Home is clearer in English and Arabic, shows your address, and explains each result of Resend verification email and Refresh verification status, including an expired page. | Workspace Home, Sign in and sign up |
| Google sign-in verifies existing personal accounts (5 October) | If you made a personal account with email and password and later use Continue with Google with the same Gmail or Workspace address, it is treated as verified. | Sign in and sign up |
| Check current status opens a new tab (5 October) | After Status not confirmed, the status check opens beside your page, so what you typed is not lost. | Notifications and feedback |
| Language and theme saved to your account (5 October) | Account Settings → Appearance / Preferences can save your theme and language for all your apps and devices. | Account display defaults |
| Old SolaProjects guide link still works (6 October) | The former "Time approval and billing" address opens the Time approval page. | SolaProjects Time approval |
How it connects
Most of these changes affect more than one page; follow the links in the table. Behaviour that is the same in every app (new tabs, switching organization, language and theme) is gathered in Switching apps and organizations.
Tips and common problems
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The page looks like the old version. | Your browser kept an older copy. | Reload with Ctrl+F5 (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). |
| Open app opens nothing. | Pop-up blocker. | Allow pop-ups for solavel.com. |
| The language list still shows two languages. | Old cached page. | Reload the page. |
| Sales or Purchasing is missing from the role list. | SolaCount has not reported the role ready for that organization, or your own role is lower. | See Sales and Purchasing roles. |
| I cannot change someone's organization role. | Only an organization owner can. | Ask an owner. |
