🆕 New & Updated
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-26 | New: Built-in system and application users — the Microsoft-provisioned Dataverse users, including the Power Automate AI flow, desktop flow runtime and machine management accounts; do not delete or change their roles. |
| 2026-10-08 | New: Flowchart mode in the desktop flow designer (Public Preview) — node-and-edge view of the same desktop flow; switch only when the flow has no errors. |
| 2026-09-29 | New: Power Automate usage page — admin centre Usage tab listing users over their daily action/request limits, with per-user flow breakdown; helps pick flow group candidates. Excludes service principals and Process-licensed flows, and has no export yet. |
| 2026-09-24 | New: Desktop flow templates — save a desktop flow as a reusable, publishable template, share it, and create independent copies from it. Requires Power Automate for desktop v2.72+. The copy is one-way and permanent: nothing you change in a template ever reaches flows already created from it, which is the thing clients will misread as shared components. Templates can't be run, scheduled or triggered outside the designer, and drafts don't appear in the picker. |
| 2026-09-23 | New: Power Automate Plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code — terminal-based AI coding agents create, edit, run, debug and manage cloud flows through a bundled MCP server, with ten slash-command skills, a bundled Microsoft Learn MCP server for grounding, flows created stopped and restorable backups on edit. Runs wholly as the signed-in user's identity, so it inherits their permissions rather than scoping them down — which is both the security story and the thing to govern. |
| 2026-09-12 | Updated: On-premises data gateway — gateway deletion is a soft delete; added the Deleted gateways (Preview) view and Permanently delete step, plus the gotcha that a tenant gateway-region change won't complete until soft-deleted clusters are purged. |
| 2026-07-22 | Initial backfill — 75 docs published across all eleven categories, plus Copilot in Power Automate relocated in from the Copilot KB. |
