# New Features - MAJOR Release 2.209 - 30 day trials, Automatic Late Fees and much more.

## Richer notes, 30 day trials, Automatic Late Fees, Smarter balance due reminders and much more.

### 🌤️ This is a MAJOR Release

Released: **Oct 2, 2025**

**That means we focused on *big features***, we also include small improvements and bug fixes that we can. 

If you're unsure how to read the notes or how to make the most of YouLi, you can schedule a [1:1 Consulting session](https://support.youli.io/4410822548623-how-to-get-help-from-youli-support?hsLang=en#pay) with one of our experts, and we will walk you through the features and best practices.

### Focus Features in this Update:

### 🆓 1 month free trial for PRO, PLUS and GROW

If you're still Exploring and want to see if the features on Plus (or Pro or Grow) meet your needs, you can jump on for a 1 month free trial, enter your credit card and launch your trips before your first invoice!

[Start when it seems too early - Upgrade today!](https://youli.io/account/billingsetup)

![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 8.17.48 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%208.17.48%20pm.png?width=670&height=289&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%208.17.48%20pm.png)

LITE is still the cheapest way to get started, so it doesn't have a free trial option.

*#10395, 10394*

### 📤 Balance Payment Reminder Even When Partial Payment Applied

Once a partial payment (or chip away payment) has been applied to an installment, the reminders stop.

This was true for the balance installment as well, but after receiving customer feedback, we realized, reminders should still be sent even if the balance has a partial payment.

##### So now, reminders will be sent for the Balance Due installment as long as there is any amount due.

**NOTE:** This only applies to the Balance Due - we still won't send reminders for partial payments on Installments before the balance.

*#10405 - thanks to Select for reporting*

### 📒 Notes keep getting Richer

Last time it was Trip Notes, this time it is the Planner Notes for each Traveler. 

We have converted from simple text to Rich Text, so you can use bullets, formatting and colors to take more detailed notes that are easier to read.

BEFORE: Planner notes were just a bunch of text.

![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 9.18.43 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.18.43%20pm.png?width=460&height=125&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.18.43%20pm.png)

Now, you can apply more formatting when you edit:

![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 9.16.06 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.16.06%20pm.png?width=504&height=280&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.16.06%20pm.png)

Which will display on the TripBoard like:

![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 9.18.00 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.18.00%20pm.png?width=498&height=168&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.18.00%20pm.png)

**NOTE:** The Rich Text formatting will be removed in exports

### 📒 New Trip CRM Styling

We are working through a lot of changes to our styles, this time we are updating Trip CRM. More changes are coming to provide alternative sort options.

BEFORE:

- The Traveler name is no longer forced into Uppercase

- The package name is now showing in the table

- The carrot to expand the row is now right aligned

#### New Icons

#### ![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 9.26.11 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.26.11%20pm.png?width=581&height=420&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.26.11%20pm.png)

### ✨ SPONSORED FEATURES

### ✅ Task Library

Managing your tasks and forms to ensure consistency across trips can be challenging, now it's achievable with the Task Library.

- Add TO Library
- Add FROM Library
- Ensure synced Tasks remain synced when Trips/Templates are copied

This feature will roll out to GROW and ENTERPRISE clients later this year.

*#10419, 10414, 10387, 10417*

 

### 💪 API\_FIELD\_NAME can be duplicated if Category is distinct

If you need this feature, you know you're at the top of your automation and data game. This allows you to set API\_FIELD\_NAME values in your Task Forms to be the *same* as another Task, **as long as the Traveler Category for the Task is not the same as the duplicate.** 

This is powerful because it allows you to [generate reports](https://support.youli.io/custom-trip-reports-what-data-do-you-need-per-trip?hsLang=en) that reference the API\_FIELD\_NAME and get the field that matches for each Traveler.

This matters when you have, for example, a Student and a Teacher registration form. Maybe 40% of the fields are the same data (and would have duplicate API\_FIELD\_NAMES). Now that this is allowed you can have the FIRST\_NAME and LAST\_NAME fields in both forms have the same API\_FIELD\_NAME because the Category of each Task is set to 'Student' or 'Teacher'. 

So your [Configured Reports](https://support.youli.io/custom-trip-reports-what-data-do-you-need-per-trip?hsLang=en) (and exports from Trip CRM) will have just ONE column for FIRST\_NAME instead of one for each form as it does now.

**TIP:** This feature relies on the Category, so be careful when editing/deleting Categories. [Learn more](https://support.youli.io/how-to-categorize-people-on-trips-or-events-category?hsLang=en#delete)

### 🔂 Content Library Item Changes Sync to Children

When a change is made to an item in the Content Library, any children items that are synced will automatically be updated based on the change.

COMING SOON to Task Library.

*#10423*

### 💲 Affiliate Profile Pricing

For accounts with Affiliate Profiles, you can now set pricing for Affiliates that is different from the Public Price.

This works with embeds and allows you to restrict packages to just certain Affiliate Profiles.

Link Affiliate Profiles to Trips - so only the linked Affiliates can sell the Trip with the Affiliate price.

![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 9.40.39 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.40.39%20pm.png?width=484&height=274&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.40.39%20pm.png)

Go even further and create packages that can only be sold by certain Affiliate Profiles:

![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 9.40.17 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.40.17%20pm.png?width=474&height=428&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%209.40.17%20pm.png)

### 🔢 Reservations across Pre/Post Tours and Packages

Want to allow people to book more than one package in the same group? You need reservations!

Here's an example of a basic reservation example where a couple has booked the Main Tour (Southwest) and the Pre Tour (Denver to Moab). 

Note the ability to add another person to the room or add another person in another room on the same reservation.

![Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 8.05.21 pm](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%208.05.21%20pm.png?width=670&height=307&name=Screenshot%202025-10-01%20at%208.05.21%20pm.png)

Reservations combine bookings across Main, Pre and Post Tours and within a Trip across packages/rooms types. The invoice is still consolidated and even the Tasks are merged.

This feature is in active development and only available to sponsoring clients right now.
