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 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:

Power Apps

Generally available: custom theming for model-driven apps

Custom theming for model-driven apps using the modern, refreshed look is now generally available. This capability lets organizations align their model-driven apps with company branding by customizing colors, fonts, and app header styling using the Microsoft Fluent 2 design system.

With modern themes, makers can apply a cohesive color scheme across the app from a single base color — covering hyperlinks, primary buttons, active tab indicators, row selection, and hover effects. You can also customize the app header background and text colors, set a custom logo, and override the default font used throughout the application. These customizations are applied through an XML web resource and scoped to your environment via the Custom theme definition app setting.

If your organization was using classic themes, now is the time to create a new custom theme XML web resource that reflects your branding and apply it to your environment. Note that classic theming is not honored with the modern look, which is becoming mandatory for model-driven apps in April 2026.

Public preview: your business apps, now part of every conversation

Today, we’re taking the first step to bring your Power Apps data and experiences directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot—so key parts of your model‑driven apps can show up right where your users already work, powered by your app’s MCP server.

Public preview: FetchXML editor for offline profiles in Power Apps mobile

This March, we’re excited to announce the FetchXML editor for Power Apps offline profiles in public preview. For canvas and model-driven apps that work offline, configuring an optimal fetch XML solves the majority of the performance problems.

The FetchXML editor gives advanced makers and pro developers a code-level entry point directly inside the offline profile experience to optimize their profiles better and more effective than before. Write or paste a FetchXML query to define the custom filters on a table or related tables. Leverage key performance features like support for unrelated tables, latematerialize=”true” and SQL query hints. These capabilities help optimize how Dataverse executes the sync — reducing query complexity and avoiding timeouts on large tables.

To try it, open an offline profile in Power Apps studio, select “Edit filter” on any table or related table, and choose “View/Edit FetchXML.”

Double-click to edit the Text control inline in canvas apps

You can now double-click the modern Text control directly on the canvas to edit its text inline — no need to navigate to the formula bar or properties panel. This makes it faster to update labels, headings, and static text while building your app. This improvement streamlines the authoring experience and brings the Text control in line with the familiar editing behavior makers expect from modern canvas controls.

AI-powered development

Public preview: build canvas apps with AI coding agents

With the Canvas Apps MCP Authoring Plugin, makers can now use their preferred AI coding agents — such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible assistant — to build and modify canvas apps through natural conversation.

The Canvas Authoring MCP Server runs locally alongside your development environment and connects to a live Power Apps Studio coauthoring session. You can describe a screen or an entire app in plain language, and your coding agent translates that into structured, validated YAML. Agents can use the plugin’s tools to discover available controls and their properties, explore data sources and connectors, and generate a working app. YAML and Power Fx errors are identified and resolved by the coding agent before any changes appear in Studio, so you stay in flow. Because every interaction is grounded in your live authoring session, the output remains accurate, governed, and adheres to Power Apps’ platform constraints.

Generally available: external tool support for generative pages is now available in all public clouds worldwide

Building generative pages using external AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot CLI is now generally available. You can build rich, custom user experiences directly within your model-driven apps using your preferred AI codegen tool, and publish them as first-class Power Apps experiences. To get started, connect to your environment using PAC CLI and use the tool to generate a page.

Generative pages via external tools is also now available in all public clouds worldwide, the most-requested milestone since the feature launched in preview. No matter where your organization operates, you can now extend your model-driven apps with AI-built pages.

Pages are also localized out of the box. When an agent generates a page, it automatically adapts to the user’s language and regional formatting preferences including dates, numbers, and text. This localization guidance is built directly into the external tool plugins, so you get correctly localized output wherever you’re building.

Managed platform

Alerting and data metrics now available for code apps in Power Platform monitor

We’re rolling out new alerting capabilities and metrics for code apps in Power Platform monitor, extending enterprise-grade observability to next-generation applications. Code apps allow developers to build using the tools and workflows they already know, then bring those apps into Power Platform to benefit from enterprise governance, security, and monitoring. With code app alerts, IT and Operations teams can now monitor these developer-built applications with the same confidence and control they have for canvas and model-driven apps, giving these teams the visibility they need to scale code app adoption across the enterprise without sacrificing reliability.

Admins can now create alerts on code apps for the following metrics: app open success rate, time to interactive, and recent app sessions. Additionally, we’ve added two new data metrics for code apps that can also be configured for alerts: data request success rate and data request latency. These alerts provide end-to-end visibility from app launch to data access, helping teams catch performance regressions before the majority of users are impacted and respond faster to reliability issues in production. Available now in Power Platform monitor with no setup required, code app alerts enable IT and operations teams to define health thresholds, receive proactive notifications, and take guided action. This enables them to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive operations for both low-code and pro-dev applications within a unified monitoring experience.

These changes will be available in all public regions by May 4, 2026.

The post What’s new in Power Platform: April 2026 feature update appeared first on Microsoft Power Platform Blog.

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 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:

Managed platform

Licensing capacity reporting

Licensing capacity reporting is now fully available in the Power Platform admin center (Licensing → Power Automate → Usage), giving admins a single place to see which users are over capacity and which flows are driving that usage. Export options, a consolidated licensing page, and additional improvements are on the way.

Power Platform inventory

Power Platform inventory is now generally available, giving tenant administrators a unified view of cloud flows, Copilot Studio agent flows, and Workflows agent workflows across every environment. Expansion with connectors, actions, and key usage data is on the way — making it even easier to spot your most active automations, enforce compliance, and prevent orphaned resources.

The new usage page

The new usage page is now in public preview with modern dashboards showing adoption trends and resource-level analytics for Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio. For Power Automate, the page already shows flow run data so you can track execution patterns across your tenant.

Agentic apps

Bringing Microsoft 365 Copilot into model-driven apps

In this demo from the Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community call, you see how Microsoft 365 Copilot integrates with model-driven Power Apps to answer questions about your app data, generate visualizations using code interpreter, and take action across Microsoft 365. You’ll see how Copilot uses app and data context to generate documents, create presentations, and even schedule meetings—all directly from your app

Turn app data into action with Microsoft 365 Copilot

Previously, we walked through how to enable Microsoft 365 Copilot in model-driven apps. Now it’s time to put it to work where your business processes actually run. In the Copilot side pane, you can ask Copilot to summarize table data, visualize what’s active, see what’s pending, recap the history of a specific record, and reference related content surfaced through Work IQ. The result is a more natural transition from “what’s going on?” to “what should I do next?” without ever leaving the app.

Because this experience is powered by Microsoft 365 Copilot, you can also bring in the right agent at the right moment. You can @mention first‑party agents like Researcher and Analyst, or involve a custom agent your organization has made available. That agent collaboration helps turn insights into action, whether that means drafting a document, creating a PowerPoint, or taking next steps like scheduling a meeting. All of this stays grounded in your app context and chat history. Ready to get started? Begin with the admin and maker setup guidance, then explore how end users work in the pane, and finally learn how to tailor the experience with agents.

Building modern apps

New quality updates for modern controls in canvas apps

We’ve shipped quality updates across all nine modern controls in Power Apps canvas apps—Text, Number Input, Date Picker, Text Input, Tab List, Combo Box, Radio, Link, and Info Button. This is one of the most comprehensive control refreshes to date, addressing top maker feedback around consistency, reliability, and flexibility. Whether you’re building new apps or maintaining existing ones, these updates make modern controls noticeably better to work with.

The biggest improvements are in consistency, performance, and developer experience. Controls now share a unified property model with standardized names and typed enum values predefined value sets, which means better IntelliSense, fewer formula errors, and less guesswork. The OnChange behavior has been refined across controls to fire at the right moments—reducing unnecessary recalculations and making apps feel faster and more responsive. Mobile-optimized defaults are also now applied automatically when you add controls to a mobile layout.

Migration is guided every step of the way. When you open an app using a previous version of a modern control, you’ll see an in-product notification with a “learn more” link and an “update” button coming soon on all controls. Dedicated per-control migration guides walk you through every property rename and formula change needed—so you stay in control of when and how you upgrade.

AI powered development

vibe.PowerApps.com Walkthrough

This video explores the new vibe.powerapps.com preview, which enables developers to build full code Power Apps from a prompt using AI-driven plan, data, and app generation. You’ll see how the unified experience simplifies app creation, editing, and publishing without requiring VS Code or manual code authoring.

Power Automate

Object-centric process mining analyzes processes by following real interacting business objects

Object-Centric Process Mining (OCPM) is a new approach to process analysis in Power Automate Process Mining that models processes as they occur in real business environments. Unlike traditional case-centric process mining, which groups events under a single case notion (e.g., Order ID), OCPM allows a single event to belong to multiple objects and object types — such as orders, invoices, deliveries, and payments — preserving the full web of interactions and dependencies end-to-end. 

This capability solves a fundamental limitation of case-centric mining: when events routinely touch several objects of different types simultaneously, forcing them into a single case can hide cross-object relationships, duplicate events, or distort metrics. OCPM keeps these relationships explicit, rendering object-centric process maps that show object lifecycles, activity nodes spanning multiple object types, and color-coded object-flow edges. This makes it straightforward to identify multi-object bottlenecks, verify compliance policies that span entities (e.g., “ship only after payment”), and analyze how different process flows converge and interact. 

OCPM is ideal for scenarios where dependencies across object types drive outcomes — such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, or supply chain processes — while case-centric mining remains the right choice for tightly scoped, single-instance workflows. 

Process intelligence experience: a customizable interface for process analysis

The process intelligence experience is the next-generation interface for process analysis in Power Automate Process Mining. It replaces the previous fixed process overview with a flexible, card-based dashboard system that adapts to your analysis needs. Users can create multiple tabs to organize different analytical perspectives, apply dynamic filters across all visualizations, and arrange, resize, and configure cards to build personalized analytical workspaces. 

Key enhancements include the ability to group related metrics and visualizations together logically, switch between preconfigured analytical perspectives instantly, and share dashboard configurations with team members. Continuous data refresh ensures you’re always working with current information, while the customizable layouts give you complete control over what you see and how you see it — enabling tailored views for different stakeholders and use cases.   

Power Pages

Infuse intelligent experiences into Power Pages sites with the new Agent API

Agent API for Power Pages enables site creators to build custom chat and other user experiences and integrate these seamlessly with their custom-built Microsoft Copilot Studio agents. This enhancement gives organizations more flexibility for integrating intelligence into their web experiences.

Public preview: Build Power Pages sites with AI using agentic coding tools

We’re announcing the public preview of the Power Pages plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. Describe the site you want in natural language and the plugin handles the rest — from project scaffolding and setup to Web API integrations, permissions, and site deployment.

The plugin is purpose-built for Power Pages. It understands table permissions, web roles, site settings, authentication configuration, and Web API patterns. Because it generates platform-aware code, you spend less time on manual configuration and more time building your site.

The post What’s new in Power Platform: March 2026 feature update appeared first on Microsoft Power Platform Blog.

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:

Apps, agents and Copilot

Public preview: M365 Copilot chat in model-driven apps

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.

Public preview: Power Apps MCP and enhanced agent feed

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.

Building modern apps

Public preview: a new modern Card control

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.

Generally available: theme copy‑paste

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.

Generally available: confirm() function in canvas apps as a fluent dialog

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.

Managed platform

Public preview: move canvas apps and custom SharePoint forms out of the default environment

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.

Generally available: host and run code apps in Power Apps

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.
