Summary Welcome to the Power Platform monthly feature update! We will use this blog to share news in Power Platform from the last month, so you can find a a summary of product, community, and learning updates from Power Platform in one easy place. Now, let’s dive into what’s new in Power Platform:
Jump into Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Pages to try the latest updates, you can use an existing environment or get started for free using the Developer plan.
Copilot chat is now available directly inside apps built with Power Apps, bringing the intelligence of Microsoft 365 Copilot into the flow of business processes.
This unified experience—currently limited to model-driven apps—lets users ask questions, reason over in‑app data, and connect insights from documents, communications, and collaboration—without leaving the application they’re working in. By embedding Copilot chat into low‑code apps, organizations can keep users in context and in flow, reducing app switching while accelerating decision‑making. Teams can also leverage powerful first‑party agents like Researcher and Analyst, as well as custom Copilot Studio agents, to analyze data, generate insights, and take informed action directly within their apps.
To manage Microsoft 365 Copilot chat for model-driven apps, start by learning how to manage Microsoft 365 Copilot chat. Power Platform administrators can set up and configure the Microsoft 365 Copilot chat feature for users in their environment and makers can then enable or disable Microsoft 365 Copilot chat for a specific model-driven app.
We’re bringing Power Apps Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and an enhanced agent feed into public preview. This is a step to enable better human-agent collaboration directly inside business applications with built‑in human supervision.
Power Apps MCP brings agentic features from apps to agents as tools – starting with data entry. Agents will be able to parse the unstructured data into forms that users use in apps and create records directly, as well as flag them for human review or action.
The enhanced agent feed provides a shared workspace for humans to oversee the agent activity—makers can provide granular visibility into agent actions for their users, use side‑by‑side comparison views for approvals, and direct navigation to in‑app records.
This new modern Card control helps makers build clean, responsive, and consistent UI layouts in canvas apps.
The modern Card control allows makers to present structured information—such as summaries, previews, and tiles—using a single layout‑aware control instead of composing multiple classic controls. Cards automatically adapt to vertical or horizontal layouts and align with Fluent UI design principles, improving visual consistency across apps.
By reducing layout complexity and improving responsiveness out of the box, the Card control enables faster UI composition while supporting accessibility and scalability across screen sizes.
With theme copy-paste it is it easy to reuse visual styles across canvas apps without manual reconfiguration.
Theme copy‑paste allows makers to copy and reuse a Canvas app’s theme—including colors, typography, and styling tokens—across other apps. These themes are copied as YAML which can also be edited manually by makers as text. This reduces repetitive setup and helps ensure consistent branding and visual identity across an app portfolio.
By simplifying theme reuse, this update accelerates new app creation and supports design governance at scale, especially for teams managing multiple canvas apps across environments.
The Confirm function displays a modal confirmation dialog over the current canvas screen, prompting the user to explicitly confirm or cancel before continuing. In canvas apps, there’s also a dismissal path (for example, clicking outside the dialog) that is treated as no action and returns blank.
The canvas experience is designed to align with Fluent dialog behavior and to respect the current app theme. You need to have modern controls turned on to get fluent dialog, else you will get a browser native dialog.
The default environment in Power Platform often becomes a shared space where makers build and test applications, leading to potential challenges with governance and organization. As resources accumulate in this environment without structured oversight, administrators may face difficulties managing security policies, tracking ownership, and maintaining compliance across their tenant.
We introduced a recommendation in Power Platform advisor, as a preview, that enables administrators to migrate certain canvas apps and custom SharePoint forms from the default environment to designated managed environments. The migration can be done manually from the Recommendations page under the Actions menu in the Power Platform admin center or automated using the Power Platform for Admin v2 Connector. When moving apps, administrators can choose to keep the original resource as is or restrict access to it by quarantining, or deleting it entirely.
This helps Power Platform administrators in implementing effective governance and DLP controls and establish clearer boundaries for app development.
We’re excited to announce that code apps in Power Apps are now generally available, empowering developers and IT alike at a moment when organizations are building more custom applications than ever. With the rise of AI‑accelerated and code‑generation‑assisted development, teams can build high‑quality web apps faster than before while IT faces mounting expectations around governance, security, and operational oversight. Code apps bridge that gap by giving developers full code‑first flexibility and giving IT the enterprise‑grade guardrails needed to manage a growing app landscape
Power Apps code apps bring the full strength of Power Platform to web developers. Build with popular frameworks (React, Vue, and others) in any code-first IDE, and deploy to Power Apps. Every code app automatically becomes a governed Power Platform asset, giving IT visibility and control without creating friction for developers.
