Stuck on the next step

Please help me with the next step. I understood that this puzzle required the next level of methods I hadn't used before. I tried but it was hard for me.

Welcome forastr,
Your puzzle is in the "easy" category (I'd even say in the easiest category. Which level of methods do you already know ? Which have you applied to find the three placements 5r1c5, 6r2c9, 2r7c1 ?
The puzzle is wholly solved with singles (hidden singles and naked singles), including your first three placements. Search on next singles (e.g. look at the 5s and the 9s in row 7...), you will reach the 81 placed cells.
