General
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
---|---|---|---|
Icon improvements on left panel of Plot Details dialog | Much easier to tell a plot is a single plot or belongs to a group | In the past, when open a complicated graph to customize plot, it’s hard to tell if a plot is a single plot, or belongs to a group. For grouped plot, some Tabs only show when 1st member in the group is selected. In Origin 2025, a single plot is denoted by , a plot blonging to a group is denoted by alternatingicons | |
Grouping plots gets easier | Group nonadjacent plots and create multi-groups | Change of behavior and context menus changes in Object Manager to make it easier to group plots in a layer
| |
Data Filter For Graph | Graph based Data Filter without affecting worksheet | Turn on Data Slicer to set different filter condition on each graph without affecting worksheet data

Add Note for Layout Window | Adding notes for layout window from Object Manager | Notes could only be added to graph window in Origin 2024b. In Origin 2025, notes can be added to layout window as well. With Layout window active, click the Add Notes button on top of the Object Manager. If there is notes for a layout window, there will be + inside the icon. Click it to read the notes. | |
3 List orders in Batch Plotting Dialog | More ways to sort available books and sheets in Batch Plotting dialog | There was no sorting order option in Batch Plotting dialog. Before Origin 2024b, books show in creation order and sheets show in appearance order. In Origin 2024b, both books and sheets show in alphabetic order. In Origin 2025, 3 sorting modes are added. Click the column header to toggle them.
Note: Sheets in same book as source graph always show on top. | |

If you choose a 24bit or 32bit color image for custom toolbar and restart Origin, you will get Button group bitmaps must be 16 color message. | |
Histogram Auto Binning improvement for arithmetic sequences | Histogram Auto Binning improvement for arithmetic sequences | When count(unique(input))<=10, we can sort the unique(input) and check if they are arithmetic sequences. In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. If they are arithmetic sequences, assume the difference between consecutive terms is delta, bin size=delta, bin begin should be min-delta/2, bin end is max+delta/2. Implemented in Origin2025. | |
Smartly adjust ticks when zoom in the graph | Improve the rule of showing ticks to show better ticks values when zooming in | In Origin2025 before, improve the below case that sometimes too few ticks sometimes too many ticks
| |
Save To Cloud support for project files | Support saving project to cloud | Can save project to cloud by menu: File: Save Project to Cloud… If there is existing opju file with same name on cloud, for OneDrive/SharePoint, will show dialog to ask replace or not; for Google Drive, save it directly. |

Ease of Use
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
---|---|---|---|
Using LaTeX directly in column label rows | No need to put LaTeX inside \q( ) | In previous versions, user would put LaTeX equation into \q( ) so Origin knows it’s LaTeX. In Origin 2025, this is simplified.
| |
Support LaTeX math escape in Origin Text | Introduce more familiar way to display LaTex in Origin Text | Instead of using \q() notation to use LaTex, Origin 2025 introduces more familiar ways as following, so user can directly copy content from notes to a scientific paper, and vise versa. \[latex here\] \(latex here\) Example \[\sqrt[n]{abc}\] \(\sqrt[n]{abc}\) | |
Separate Notes preview window | Notes Window Preview to allow side by side viewing of HTML source and results | Hit Ctrl + 2 to toggle separate preview window on and off. Ctrl+R to refresh after editing raw text. The preview can even be put to 2nd monitor as floating window | |
Character Column in Column Label Row Dialog | Easier way to find the character for column label row to use it in legend and text editing | To customize legend or text labels in graph with metadata, user would need to go to Document page to find the corresponding char for each label row, e.g. F for filter row, LD1 for 1st user-defined parameter row, etc. Now such char shows in Column Label Rows dialog (right click any label row header and choose Edit Column Label Rows…) so user can easily find the syntax.

Inform User that the OPJU already open in another instance of Origin | Inform User that the OPJU already open in another instance of Origin | In Origin 2024b and earlier versions, when users keep Origin project open quite some time and on many occasions they forgot about it and launched the same project just by double-click. It opens the second instance of Origin without any warning that the same project is already open. In Origin 2025, when openning a project and Origin found it to be read only, Origin will check that it has already been open by another instance, then will show a message to inform users so they can cancel. After that, Origin will tell that instance to activate to the front. |
