Just done an update to the very latest version of SharpCap.
It looks good, especially the built-in plate solver.
Apart from adding my telescope's focal length. Is there anything else that I need to add?

Hi,
glad that the new version is working well for you
With the built in plate solver there is less benefit to adding the focal length than with Astap or Astrotortilla - it can make plate solving a bit faster, but it's usually fast enough not to need that option anyway. The downside of setting the focal length is having to remember to change it if you change telescope or add/remove reducers or barlows.
Other than that, nothing that you really need to worry about - lots of new features for you to try out, but all the old stuff should work the way it did (or even better!)
cheers,
Robin
