Licensing capacity reporting<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Licensing capacity reporting is now fully available in the Power Platform admin center (Licensing \u2192 Power Automate \u2192 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Platform inventory<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 making it even easier to spot your most active automations, enforce compliance, and prevent orphaned resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing Microsoft 365 Copilot into model-driven apps<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019ll see how Copilot uses app and data context to generate documents, create presentations, and even schedule meetings\u2014all directly from your app<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn app data into action with Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Previously, we walked through how to enable Microsoft 365 Copilot in model-driven apps. Now it\u2019s 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\u2019s active, see what\u2019s pending, recap the history of a specific record, and reference related content surfaced through Work IQ. The result is a more natural transition from \u201cwhat\u2019s going on?\u201d to \u201cwhat should I do next?\u201d without ever leaving the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2011party 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New quality updates for modern controls in canvas apps<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’ve shipped quality updates across all nine modern controls in Power Apps canvas apps\u2014Text, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest improvements are in consistency, performance, and developer experience. Controls now share a unified property model with standardized names and typed enum<\/strong> values predefined value sets, which means better IntelliSense, fewer formula errors, and less guesswork. The OnChange<\/strong> behavior has been refined across controls to fire at the right moments\u2014reducing 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2014so you stay in control of when and how you upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Object-centric process mining analyzes processes by following real interacting business objects<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 such as orders, invoices, deliveries, and payments \u2014 preserving the full web of interactions and dependencies end-to-end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OCPM is ideal for scenarios where dependencies across object types drive outcomes \u2014 such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, or supply chain processes \u2014 while case-centric mining remains the right choice for tightly scoped, single-instance workflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process intelligence experience: a customizable interface for process analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The process intelligence experience is the next-generation interface for process analysis in Power Automate Process Mining. It replaces the\u00a0previous\u00a0fixed 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 enabling tailored views for different stakeholders and use cases.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
