🆕 New & Updated
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-28 | Added Canvas Authoring Agent in Power Apps Studio (Public Preview) — plan-then-build agent in canvas studio; US and English only, runs on the maker's GitHub account and GitHub bills it, needs a tenant setting, and cannot save, publish or add data. |
| 2026-10-21 | Updated Environment strategy for Power Apps — developer environment limit now one managed environment per maker; unmanaged deprecation noted. |
| 2026-10-17 | Updated Canvas apps in Teams and Managed Environments — Dataverse for Teams and unmanaged developer environment deprecations. |
| 2026-10-14 | New: Revealing Masked Dataverse Values in Canvas Apps — Dataverse.Unmask reveal/hide pattern; Dataverse permissions stay the control, admins are not hidden from by column-level security, and reset the reveal state on every selection change — Governance & Security. |
| 2026-10-14 | Updated: Power Apps Vibe — retiring, access ends 30 November 2026; migration is a manual rebuild in Copilot Cowork or Apps in Copilot Studio, draft tables and ALM are not carried over — Code & Extensibility. |
| 2026-10-10 | Added Modern Data Grid Control: Virtualisation, Columns and AI Row Summaries — Modern Data Grid — virtualisation (lost with text wrapping), column types, AI row summaries needing table and admin set-up, and the limitations list. |
| 2026-10-09 | New: Modern Persona control (Public Preview) — one person with avatar, three text lines and a presence badge; presence is a value you supply, not a live Teams feed. |
| 2026-10-08 | New: Modern Attachments control (Public Preview) — works outside a form, output goes straight to Patch; adding a file stages it, it doesn't save it. |
| 2026-10-06 | Updated: Power Apps code apps — the CLI is now documented as pa (command groups for app, auth, connection, connector, solution), with data sources added as typed generated services, connection references via --connection-ref, multi-table adds and `--as table |
| 2026-09-19 | Updated: Model app builder skill — now generally available (preview banner removed). Learn defers to the plugin README as the authoritative capability list, the app-spec schema is no longer flagged as liable to change between releases, and auto-update remains on by default — revised status, key facts, gotchas and consultant notes accordingly. |
| 2026-09-11 | New: Generative pages — describe a model-driven app page in natural language and an app agent writes the React behind it; six-table limit, four supported regions in the browser, no AI credits, solution-aware but only the published code and first prompt survive an export — Model-Driven Apps. |
| 2026-09-10 | Updated: Power Apps Vibe — Microsoft now recommends Copilot Cowork (and shortly Copilot Studio) for app building instead; added the September 2026 IMPORTANT notice, a gotcha on recommending a preview the vendor has already pointed away from, and revised selection guidance. |
| 2026-09-08 | New: Native mobile apps — standalone React Native/Expo iOS and Android apps generated by the mobile-app plugin in an AI coding host, deployed through Wrap (Public Preview) — Mobile & Offline. |
| 2026-09-05 | New: Power Apps Vibe — AI-native plan/data/app authoring at vibe.powerapps.com, with one-way conversion to code apps (Public Preview) — Code & Extensibility. |
