We’re thrilled to bring localization support to the Power Pages plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. The new /add-localization skill makes it easy to create multilingual Power Pages SPA sites in 43+ languages, including experiences in right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.

Making a site multilingual used to mean choosing an i18n library, extracting every string, building a language selector, and testing right-to-left layouts by hand. Now you name the languages, approve a plan, and the plugin does the rest.

What’s new

  • /add-localization skill. Add or extend multilingual support in React, Vue, and Angular sites.
  • AI-generated or blank translations. Let the agent translate your content, or create blank translation files for your own translators.
  • Built-in right-to-left support. The skill audits your layout, applies logical CSS, and verifies both the layout directions in a real browser.
  • Localization during site creation. /create-site now asks whether you want more languages, and hands off to /add-localization without leaving the flow.

See it in action

How it works

Run the skill from your project folder:

/add-localization Add French, German, and Arabic
  1. Plan. The skill detects your framework and opens a plan in your browser listing the languages, package, and files to change. Nothing changes until you approve it.
  2. Build. It installs the package, extracts strings into translation files, translates them, and adds a language selector.
  3. Verify. It builds your site and tests every language in a real browser, including language switching and right-to-left layouts. A language that fails stays hidden from visitors until it’s fixed.
  4. Review and deploy. You review the result, then deploy with /deploy-site.

Things to know

  • /add-localization localizes your site’s user interface. It doesn’t add languages to your Dataverse environment or translate Dataverse records. Dataverse and Power Pages system messages remain in English or selected language.
  • Localization for Astro sites isn’t available yet.

Get started

Install or update the plugin. The installer also updates the Power Platform CLI and turns on automatic updates.

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js -OutFile install.js; node install.js; del install.js

macOS, Linux, or Windows (cmd):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js | node

Then run /add-localization in an existing power pages SPA site, or run /create-site and say yes when it offers more languages.

We’re thrilled to share SPA template support in the Power Pages plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. The /create-site skill can now create your site from a ready-made single-page application (SPA) template, instead of generating every page and component from scratch.

Until now, /create-site built each site from the ground up, giving you the flexibility to create highly customized and branded experiences. With templates, you can skip the ground-up build for common business scenarios, starting with a complete, production-ready site in minutes and then customizing it to fit your needs.

What’s new

  • Smart template matching. Describe the site you want, and /create-site recommends a matching template and framework variant.
  • Preview before you build. See the recommended template before anything is created, then choose to use it or build your site from scratch.
  • Guided provisioning. /create-site imports the Dataverse solution, uploads the site, applies sample data, and shows progress through a live status page.
  • Two templates to start. Choose from the 311 Citizen Services Portal or Supplier Invoice Portal today, with more templates on the way.

Why start from a template

  • Spend less on AI credits. Recreating the 311 Portal from scratch can consume significant AI credits. Starting from the template requires only a few dollars in AI credits for the initial creation, while still giving you a complete foundation to customize.
  • Go from idea to site in minutes. Generating a full site from scratch can take more than an hour. A template gets you up and running in minutes.
  • Meet accessibility standards from day one. Templates are WCAG 2.2 compliant out of the box, so your site is ready for production right away.
  • Ship with confidence. Templates are free of known code vulnerabilities at release, and we patch and republish them whenever new issues are found.
  • Build on best practices. Every template uses a responsive layout and follows recommended patterns for Power Pages.

Code site templates give you a ready-made starting point without limiting customization. Continue building with the plugin or edit the code directly to make the site your own.

Available templates

TemplateWhat it’s for
311 PortalCitizen service requests, request tracking, city service maps, knowledge articles, and 311 contact flows
Supplier Invoice PortalSupplier onboarding, purchase orders, invoice submission, invoice review, and invoice tracking

Each template includes the site code, a Dataverse solution, and sample data, so your site works end to end as soon as it’s provisioned. Both templates are available as React variants today. More templates are coming soon!

How it works

  1. Discover. Describe the site you want. /create-site matches your intent to a template and framework variant.
  2. Confirm. The skill runs pre-flight checks and shows you a preview of the template. Choose to continue with the template or create your site from scratch.
  3. Provision. The skill imports the Dataverse solution, uploads the site, and applies sample data. A live status page shows you the progress as it happens.
  4. Go live. The skill activates your site and opens it in the browser.
  5. Customize. The skill asks what you’d like to change next, so you can keep building right away.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

You: "/create-site A portal where residents can report potholes and track their requests"

Plugin: 
        → Matches your request to the 311 Portal template (React) and asks for confirmation
        → Runs pre-flight checks and opens a template preview
        → Imports the Dataverse solution and uploads the site
        → Applies sample data and shows live provisioning status
        → Activates the site and opens it in your browser
        → Asks what you'd like to customize next

Get started

Install or update the plugin

Run the installer script to get the latest Power Pages plugin and Power Platform CLI. The script installs all Power Platform plugins, updates PAC CLI to the latest version, and turns on automatic updates.

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js -OutFile install.js; node install.js; del install.js

macOS, Linux, or Windows (cmd):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js | node

Try it out

Run /create-site and describe the site you want. If a template matches, you’ll see a preview before anything is created.

The post Your AI transformation starts with what you’ve already built appeared first on Microsoft Power Platform Blog.

]]>
The next generation of business applications will not simply include AI. They will bring people, agents, apps, and automations together to understand goals, make decisions, and act. But most organizations aren’t starting their AI transformation from a blank page. They already have applications, data, automations, and business processes that employees rely on every day. The opportunity is to build on those investments, making existing solutions more intelligent while accelerating the creation of what comes next.

Microsoft Power Platform and Microsoft Power Apps are making that transformation practical today. Organizations can bring people, agents, apps, and automations together without rebuilding every solution from scratch. They can evolve the applications their businesses already use and trust, extend established processes with AI, and create new experiences on a governed foundation.

Turn ideas into business solutions faster

AI is changing not only what business applications can do, but also how they are created. With hybrid authoring in Power Apps, people can work alongside agents and choose the experience that best matches their skills and goals, from coding agents and Copilot Cowork to Power Apps Studio. The resulting solutions can then be edited and managed in Power Apps.

For business leaders, the value is straightforward: more people can contribute to solving business problems, ideas can move from concept to solution faster, and IT can maintain the governance and control needed to scale with confidence.

Bring AI into the flow of work

Once deployed, these applications can deliver even more value through Microsoft Copilot. In model-driven and canvas apps, users can interact with business data using natural language to uncover insights, create communications, and take action within the flow of work.

Instead of treating AI as a separate destination, Copilot and Power Platform bring productivity capabilities and business data into the applications and processes where work already happens, helping organizations turn AI into meaningful business outcomes.

See the future in action at PPCC 2026

At the Power Platform Community Conference (PPCC), you can see how these capabilities come together and explore what they could mean for your organization. Come see me and Leon Welicki share what’s new with Power Platform and Microsoft Copilot Studio on Tuesday, October 27 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time (UTC-7), and build your agenda around the business outcomes you want to achieve:

Charles Lamanna, Executive Vice President, Copilot, Agents, and Platform at Microsoft, will open the conference with a vision for what comes next. Throughout PPCC 2026, you’ll see how that vision becomes reality through intelligent apps, agents, automation, and the solutions you create.

Your next chapter of AI transformation starts with the applications, data, processes, and expertise your organization already has. Join us in Las Vegas, October 27-29, 2026. We can’t wait to meet with you and be inspired by what you build next.

Every Power Pages site starts with an owner. Over time, however, organizations evolve – employees change roles, teams reorganize, projects move between departments, and responsibilities shift. While the people behind a site may change, the site itself often continues serving customers, partners, employees, citizens or other users for years.

Keeping site ownership aligned with current business responsibilities is an important part of maintaining operational continuity and governance. That’s why we’re introducing self-service site ownership transfer in Power Pages.

Helping Site Ownership Move with Your Business

Ownership changes are a natural part of an organization’s lifecycle. Common scenarios include:

  • an employee moves to a new role or leaves the organisation.
  • a project transitions from an implementation team to an operations team.
  • responsibility for a business process shifts to another department.
  • a different team takes over management of an existing site.

Previously, updating site ownership would require additional administrative effort. With self-service site ownership transfer, eligible site owners and service administrators can transfer ownership of a Power Pages site to another eligible user within the same tenant, making ownership transitions simpler and more efficient.

Supporting Governance and Accountability

To support governance and transparency, ownership transfer activities capture information about the transfer, including the previous owner, the new owner, who initiated the transfer, and when the transfer occurred. Relevant stakeholders (old owners, new owners, and relevant system administrators) are notified by email.

This helps organisations maintain visibility into ownership changes while keeping governance processes aligned with evolving business needs.

Keeping Sites Manageable Over Time

Power Pages sites are often long-lived business assets. As teams and responsibilities change, organisations need a simple way to keep ownership records current without creating unnecessary operational overhead.

Self-service site ownership transfer helps organizations efficiently manage routine ownership handovers, maintain accountability, and ensure sites continue to be managed by the individuals responsible for them.

Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Modern List in Power Pages, a refreshed data presentation experience that helps makers showcase Dataverse data with modern Fluent UI components, seamless infinite scrolling, inline filtering, shimmer loading, flexible low-code customization and custom JavaScript support.

With general availability, Modern List is now the default list experience for newly created Power Pages sites. Existing classic lists remain unchanged, so that your organization can transition at their own pace. This release also introduces support for custom JavaScript through the Power Pages Client API, giving you more flexibility to tailor list experiences to business needs.

Animated Gif Image

Extend Modern List with Custom JavaScript

Makers can continue to configure Modern List in the Power Pages design studio by selecting Dataverse views, enabling record actions, and applying styles. When a scenario requires more advanced behavior, developers can extend the same list with custom JavaScript instead of replacing it with a separate data grid.

Using the Client API, developers can:

  • Access the rows and columns loaded in a Modern List.
  • Read raw and formatted row values.
  • Respond to list loading, row selection, and cell selection events.
  • Show, hide, or style rows and columns.
  • Customize column headers, tooltips, and cell display text.

For example, a customer service site could highlight high-priority requests, apply different styles based on status, or respond when a user selects a record. These customizations retain the list’s existing Dataverse views, actions, filtering, and security configuration.

Get started

Add a Modern list to a newly created site or convert an existing list to Modern List on an existing site.

Server Logic enables makers and developers to execute business logic securely on the server. However, connected business applications often need website experiences to participate in processes that extend beyond the site.

We are introducing support for invoking Power Automate cloud flows from Server Logic in Power Pages. This extends existing Power Automate integration capabilities by enabling cloud flows to participate directly in server-side business logic.

Combining Business Logic with Automation

Business applications rarely operate in isolation. Customer interactions that begin on a website often continue through approvals, integrations, notifications, and other business processes.

By invoking cloud flows from Server Logic, organizations can combine website-specific business logic with automation in Power Automate. This helps reduce duplication and enables existing business workflows to be reused across Power Pages applications.

Animated Gif Image

Bringing the Power Platform Connector Ecosystem to Server Logic

Power Automate serves as an automation and integration layer for many organizations, providing connectivity to more than 1,400 external services and data sources across Microsoft services, third-party applications, and custom systems.

Cloud flow invocation extends the reach of Server Logic into existing automation and integration investments across Power Platform. Instead of creating separate integration approaches for Power Pages, organizations can reuse established workflows, connectivity patterns, and governance practices.

To learn how to configure and use cloud flows with Server Logic, see the Power Pages documentation.

Build hands-on Power Platform and AI expertise with Power Series

Power series lab catalog image

Developed by the Power CAT team, Power Series is now available with 20 hands-on labs that help customers, partners, and field teams build practical Power Platform and AI skills at their own pace. Drawing on the team’s experience delivering enterprise customer workshops, Power Series brings that expertise into a reusable, self-service learning experience.

Learners gain hands-on experience choosing the right capabilities, building working solutions, and making design decisions based on their business needs and solution complexity. The outcome: practical skills and greater confidence to apply Power Platform and AI to real projects, from modernizing applications and automating processes to governing solutions.

Power Apps

Build polished canvas apps faster with fluent screen templates

new templates sreenshot

Start new canvas app experiences faster with six additional ready-to-use screen templates based on fluent 2 patterns along with recently shipped 3 fluent templates. These templates give makers responsive layouts, editable controls, and practical starting points for common app scenarios. Add one from the new screen experience, connect your data, and customize the design instead of building every screen from scratch.

These templates are a replacement of previous out of box templates built on classic controls.

Additional improvements to modern controls and update from classic to modern controls

Update controls faster. Makers can now update eligible controls in bulk from the control-update surface instead of repeating the process one control at a time. Update all works on the current screen, can enable the required modern-control settings, and preserves the familiar Studio undo and redo experience. Review affected formulas after updating because property names, enum values, and behaviors may change.

More modern controls and quality improvements. The newly released progress bar supports determinate and indeterminate experiences, Power Fx-driven values, semantic colors, theme-aware styling, and accessible progress semantics. The modern avatar and spinner are also available, with improved interaction and upgrade behavior. Continued quality work makes date picker interactions and reset behavior more reliable and preserves formulas that reference checkbox, rating, and toggle.

Agentic apps

Generally available: refreshed model-driven apps UI, plus display density in public preview

Model apps UI modernization: Header and navigation refresh reaches general availability, with Display density arriving in preview

The next wave of UI modernization for model-driven apps arrives with version 2609.1. The header and navigation refresh feature reaches general availability, and the new display density feature enters preview. Together they deliver a cleaner, more efficient layout across the app shell, forms, and views, increasing your working area, reducing the time you spend navigating pages, and aligning the experience with modern Microsoft 365 design patterns.

Header and navigation refresh brings a modern app header with simplified layout and improved spacing, a streamlined sitemap that’s easier to scan, and noticeably more working space on forms. The command bar is now the only element fixed at the top of the page, with the summary area and form header scrolling alongside the rest of the form. Once the form header scrolls out of view, a condensed sticky header attached to the bottom of the command bar is shown. At GA, the experience remains opt-in so makers control adoption. Apps that already have the feature enabled get these enhancements automatically.

Display density (preview) answers a longstanding customer request to fit more content into model-driven app pages. Three levels are available — comfortable (the default), cozy, and compact — so users can tighten the interface to match how they work. An app setting lets customers set the default level for their users or turn the feature off entirely, and users can adjust their own density through personal settings. Display density requires the header and navigation refresh feature and is enabled by default once that feature is on.

AI powered development

Generally available: canvas authoring agent plugin for AI-assisted app building

The canvas authoring agent plugin is now generally available, giving makers and developers a new way to work with Power Apps canvas apps using agent-assisted development workflows. With the authoring agent plugin, makers can more easily create, inspect, and update canvas apps through agent-driven interactions with their favorite coding agent, helping accelerate common app-building tasks while keeping makers in control. Learn more about the agent here.

This update is part of our continued investment in making canvas app creation faster, easier, and more approachable. By bringing agentic authoring and MCP support to canvas apps, makers can use modern AI development patterns to move from idea to working app more quickly, iterate on app structure and controls, and streamline parts of the authoring process that previously required more manual effort.

Generally available: vibe code entire model-driven apps with the app-builder skill

Vibe code entire model-driven apps with the new app-builder skill (preview)

Generative pages gave makers an AI-assisted way to build individual pages in model-driven apps. The new model app-builder skill extends that approach to the whole application, and it’s now generally available. Used with an AI code generation tool such as GitHub Copilot CLI or Claude Code, it builds and edits model-driven apps from natural-language requirements.

You start by describing the business process or app you need. The skill turns your requirements into an application plan that you review before it makes any changes. It starts with user personas and the jobs they need to accomplish, and then extends to cover a growing list of model-driven app artifacts including:

  • Tables, columns, relationships, and sample data
  • Forms, views, and charts
  • Generative pages for experiences that go beyond standard forms and views
  • A sitemap with custom icons for each table
  • JavaScript validation rules on forms
  • Security roles based on the planned personas and data access needs
  • Business process flows (recently added)
  • Business rules (recently added)

No app artifacts are created until you approve the build plan. The skill also works on editing your existing apps. Everything it produces is a standard Power Apps and Dataverse artifact, so you can keep iterating with the skill or switch to the Power Apps studio designers whenever you prefer.

Embed a generative page directly inside a model-driven app form

Embed a generative page directly inside a model-driven app form

Generative pages are no longer limited to standalone pages in your app’s navigation. You can now add a generative page to a model-driven app form so that it appears within a section or tab, letting an AI-generated experience sit right alongside the standard fields on a record.

Build the generative page to accept the recordId input parameter, and when a user opens a record, the form automatically passes the current record ID to the generative page for you. The page knows which record it’s on from the moment it loads. This unlocks the mixed layouts makers have been asking for, keeping the out-of-box form for structured data entry and dropping in a purpose-built generative page for the part of the record that needs a richer, more tailored view.

Public preview: generative pages can now use data from Power Platform connectors

Public preview: generative pages can now use data from Power Platform connectors

To date, generative pages have been built on Dataverse tables, but now they can reach further. Connector support (preview) lets a generative page use data outside of Dataverse through the Power Platform connector ecosystem. If the data your scenario needs already lives in SharePoint, SQL, or any other connected service, you can build a page against it directly.

Connector support works in both authoring experiences by targeting existing connection references in the environment. In the generative page designer, configured connectors are available through add data > connectors, where you select the connection reference and choose the data the page should use. With AI code generation tools, describe the data you want, and the agent walks you through selecting the right connector and adding the binding so it deploys with the page.

Power Automate

Quick start cards make it easier to begin automating from the Power Automate home page

Power Automate screenshot

New quick start cards on the Power Automate home page provide clear, actionable entry points for common automation scenarios. Users can move directly into creating a flow without first navigating menus or searching through the template gallery. By bringing relevant starting points to the home page, this experience helps new users discover what they can automate while giving experienced users a faster path from idea to flow.

Server-side search helps users find flows faster

Searching in My Flows is now faster and more reliable with server-side search. Instead of filtering only the flows already loaded in the browser, Power Automate sends the search request to the service and returns matching flows from the complete list of available flows in the current environment. This improvement is especially helpful for users who manage large numbers of flows. It provides more complete results while reducing the time and effort required to locate a specific flow.

We’re excited to announce that Microsoft-managed SSL/TLS certificates are now available for custom domains in Power Pages.

When you connect a custom domain, you can now choose an SSL/TLS certificate that Microsoft provisions, configures, and renews for you. You do not need to purchase a certificate, upload a PFX file, or track the certificate’s renewal date. This option is now available in the ‘Connect Custom Domain’ wizard in the Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC).

What’s new

  • Microsoft-managed certificates are now available in the ‘Choose an SSL/TLS certificate‘ step in the ‘Connect Custom Domain’ wizard, alongside the options to upload a new certificate or use an existing one. Power Pages provisions the certificate for the host name you enter, and configuration typically completes in a few minutes.
  • Automatic certificate management handles provisioning, configuration, and renewal, so you no longer need to track certificate expiry dates.
  • Support for existing custom domains: Sites using an uploaded certificate can move to a Microsoft-managed certificate at any time.

Why this matters

  • No certificate procurement means you no longer need to buy a certificate, export it as a password-protected PFX file with the required encryption and key length, and upload it to Power Pages.
  • Lower risk of expired certificates helps avoid browser warnings on live, customer-facing sites through automatic renewal.
  • Faster custom domain setup lets you connect a domain in the admin center without completing a separate certificate procurement and upload process.
  • Continued certificate choice preserves support for bring-your-own certificates. Existing sites are not migrated automatically and continue to operate without any impact.

How to get started

Step 1: In the Power Platform admin center, go to Manage > Power Pages. Select your site, select Manage, and then select Connect Custom Domain in Site Details section.

Step 2: Select Add Microsoft Managed certificate, and then select Next.

Step 3: Enter the host name, validate the domain, review and finish. Configuration can take a few minutes.

How to migrate to Microsoft-managed SSL/TLS certificate

If you want to migrate to Microsoft-managed SSL/TLS certificates for an existing custom domain, remove the current SSL binding and certificate, then reconnect the domain by selecting ‘Add Microsoft Managed certificate’.

We’re excited to announce that the Standard Data Model (SDM) to Enhanced Data Model (EDM) migration utility in Microsoft Power Platform CLI is now generally available (GA) and it now also supports four key Dynamics 365 portal templates:

  • Customer Self‑Service Portal
  • Employee Self‑Service Portal
  • Community Portal
  • Partner Portal

New sites using these templates could be provisioned on EDM since June this year. This utility is meant for supporting migration for existing SDM sites across to EDM.

What’s new

  • General availability – The migration utility is now GA. It moves an existing site’s supported configuration and related records to EDM, then switches the site to serve from the migrated configuration.
  • Dynamics 365 templates support – Sites created on the four Dynamics 365 portal templates can now be migrated to EDM. These templates are now supported for EDM, similar to Starter layout 1–5, Application processing, Blank page, Program registration, Schedule and manage meetings, and FAQ.
  • Enhanced customization report – Before making any changes, the utility generates a report identifying all customizations that depend on SDM tables, giving you a clear view of what requires attention before migration.
  • Status checks and rollback – The utility lets you check migration status before switching the active data model and revert the site to SDM if validation identifies a critical issue.

Why this matters

  • Modern ALM – Site configuration becomes solution-aware and lives in Dataverse solutions, so you can ship a site alongside the apps, flows, and tables it depends on, and promote it with environment variables and Power Platform Pipelines.
  • Faster provisioning – Sites on EDM provision significantly faster than SDM sites.
  • Automatic platform updates – Enhancements, bug fixes, and security patches ship automatically. The manual package updates that SDM requires will not be needed for EDM.
  • Future investment – New Power Pages features are built on EDM. Migration from SDM to EDM allows you to use these newer features in your sites.

How to get started

Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Power Platform CLI version 2.11.2 or later.
  • Dataverse base portal package CDSBasePortal 9.3.2607.x or later.
  • Power Pages Core package PowerPages_Core 1.0.2605.x or later.
  • Ensure your site’s template is supported and that the corresponding EDM Template is installed.
  • Ensure you have the appropriate access to perform the migration, such as the System Administrator, Dynamics 365 Administrator, or Power Platform Administrator role.
  • If your environment is in administration mode, ensure background operations are enabled.

Then follow the step-by-step guidance on Microsoft Learn to generate the customization report, run the migration, verify status, and switch your site to the Enhanced Data Model.
