Power Apps

Public preview: Build flexible file experiences with modern attachments

modern attachments

The new modern attachments control gives makers a Fluent file experience that works inside forms or as a standalone control on a canvas. Build custom upload screens without the classic control’s form-only constraint, while giving users multi-file selection, image thumbnails, file validation, and drag-and-drop on the web.

Makers can configure the maximum number and size of files, accepted file types, multiple-file behavior, styling, and file events. Preview supports SharePoint list attachments and Dataverse attachment scenarios. Mobile users select files through the device picker.

Building modern apps

Build richer canvas apps with new modern controls

New modern controls bring more ready-to-use Fluent experiences to canvas apps. Avatar group shows teams at a glance, persona combines identity and supporting details, metrics card highlights key values with supporting text and trend context, card gallery turns records into responsive card views, and modern attachments supports file experiences inside or outside forms. These controls reduce the number of individual elements makers need to assemble for common app patterns.

The next wave includes navigation, breadcrumb, facet, accordion, and carousel, targeted by the end of 2026, along with general availability work for attachments. Together, these investments give makers more reusable building blocks for richer canvas experiences, with less time spent recreating common interface patterns.

Browse larger datasets with automatic loading and numbered pages in data grid

Grid interactions

Modern data grid adds two ways to browse data incrementally: automatically load more records as users scroll, or show numbered pages with a configurable page size. Makers can choose the browsing pattern that fits the app rather than loading the full result set up front.

Search can work with the loaded records or use the maker’s data-source filtering formula. Sorting can be delegated when the connected source supports it. Existing apps retain their current behavior unless pagination is enabled, because the pagination property defaults to none.

Create responsive SharePoint custom forms with an updated form template

New SP form

The SharePoint customize forms experience has an updated form template with a responsive, multi-column layout instead of the earlier single-column starting point. The generated form adapts its fields to the available width, giving makers a more flexible foundation for SharePoint list forms. Organize the fields for your workflow, customize the form in Power Apps Studio, and validate the experience in its SharePoint host. The refreshed template reduces the layout work needed to create a form that works across wider and narrower views.

New SharePoint and app from data templates

new SP template

The new modern template is available across all app-from-data flows in Power Apps, not just SharePoint-connected app creation. You can also start directly from a SharePoint list by selecting integrate > Power Apps > create an app. Start with responsive browse, new-item, and edit-item screens built with modern controls, with data-aware views and record actions that reduce the work needed to turn your data into an app. Review the generated screens and fields, then tailor the app to your workflow. Responsive layouts and modern controls give makers a consistent starting point without rebuilding common browse and edit patterns from scratch.

Reveal masked Dataverse values on demand in canvas apps

Canvas apps can request an unmasked value from a secured Dataverse column with the Dataverse.Unmask Power Fx function. Makers can build an explicit reveal action for sensitive information while keeping the normal view masked.

Dataverse continues to enforce table, record, and column permissions, including the appropriate read unmasked permission. The function returns a single column value; it does not change the stored record, remove its masking rule, or reveal the value elsewhere in the app. Preview began in October, and makers must update their apps to add the reveal experience.

AI powered development

Public preview: Explore business apps in Work IQ

Explore Business Apps in Work IQ

Your business data doesn’t have to stay inside your apps. Now in public preview, business apps in Work IQ lets you find and work with data from Power Apps model-driven apps through natural-language conversations, without opening the app. At the Power Platform Community Conference, our “Work, Reimagined” session explored how this extends the value of the apps and business processes you already use.

Ask for records from an app view, explore the details, or create and update records in conversation. For example, you can ask which projects are blocked, then review and confirm an update to a project record. Work IQ uses your app’s existing views, forms, and Dataverse data, respects your permissions, and applies supported business rules. You review and explicitly confirm changes before they are submitted.

Customers told us they want to keep control of their data and get measurable value from AI. We’re listening to that feedback as we develop business apps in Work IQ, helping you work with the business information you already have, with your existing permissions and control over changes. Explore the public preview to learn how to get started.

Public preview: Understand Dataverse records faster with AI row summary

AI summary

AI-powered row summary is coming to the modern data grid in canvas apps. Users can generate a concise AI summary for an eligible Dataverse row directly from the grid, helping them understand important record information without opening the record or scanning every field.

To enable the experience, connect the modern data grid to a Dataverse table that already has row summary configured, then set ShowAIRowSummary to true. The feature is opt-in and off by default. Preview rollout begins October 12, 2026 and will roll out gradually.

Public preview: Generative pages can now run server-side business logic with Dataverse custom APIs

custom APIs

Generative pages can now call Dataverse custom APIs, connecting AI-generated experiences to server-side business logic. This lets you build pages that do more than display and update records: users can trigger operations such as approving an order, recalculating a price, or validating a transaction, while keeping the underlying logic in Dataverse.

Support is available both in the generative page designer in Power Apps and through the generative pages plugin for external AI code generation tools. Select an existing custom API in your environment, then describe when the page should call it, which inputs to provide, and how to use the response. Global and table-bound actions and functions are supported, and calls run in the context of the signed-in user, subject to Dataverse security.

Public preview: Monitor generative page performance and errors with application insights

app insights

Building a tailored user experience is only part of the job of building a great model-driven app. You also need visibility into how it behaves when users interact with it. Generative pages now support automatic telemetry export to Azure application insights, helping you investigate page-load performance, unhandled errors, data operations, and navigation.

Once an administrator configures application insights data export for the environment in the Power Platform admin center, Power Apps automatically reports supported telemetry for generative pages. There’s no need to add telemetry calls, install the application insights JavaScript SDK, or include a connection string in your page. The capability works for all published generative pages.

Public preview: Integration of GitHub enables agentic authoring of canvas apps in Power Apps studio

Your canvas apps already run real business processes, and now you can edit and maintain them with the power of an agentic coauthor. Sign in with your GitHub account and an agent works right beside your canvas—using your existing apps, data sources, connectors, and governance. There’s nothing to rebuild or migrate! You also control when and where you spend your tokens: let the agent handle the complex, tedious work, like rolling out a change across every screen, and make quick edits by hand without using tokens at all. Because it’s still a canvas app, you can switch between the two whenever you want. The result is AI-powered tools for maintaining and improving the business solutions you rely on today, while you control your token spend and work out your broader AI adoption plan. Turn on the tenant setting in the Power Platform admin center and get started. This functionality integrates GitHub login and is billed via GitHub. See details about usage, data handling and billing here.

Power Automate

Create and share reusable desktop flow templates

Create and share reusable desktop flow templates

Power Automate for desktop now enables makers to create reusable desktop flow templates that help teams standardize automation logic and start new automations from an established structure. Templates can capture common patterns such as error handling, logging, reporting, and other reusable automation components, reducing repetitive authoring work and promoting consistency across desktop flows.

Makers can create a template from a new automation or save an existing desktop flow as a separate template, then edit, test, debug, and publish it before others use it. New flows created from a published template are independent copies, so they can be adapted without changing the source template, while later template updates apply to future flows rather than existing ones.

Public preview: Schedule desktop flows directly with scheduled triggers

Public preview: flows directly with scheduled triggers

Scheduled triggers in Power Automate let makers run desktop flows on a recurring schedule without creating and maintaining a separate cloud flow. From Automation center, users can create a schedule, select the desktop flow and execution connection, choose attended or unattended run mode, and define the start date, time, recurrence, and time zone in one streamlined experience.

The centralized experience also makes schedules easier to manage and understand. Makers can view enabled and disabled triggers, filter by flow or connection reference, and review upcoming projected runs in one place, with recurrence options for minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. This preview capability supports desktop flows and is being gradually rolled out across regions.

Public preview: Build and debug desktop flows in flowchart mode

flowchart mode

Flowchart mode introduces a visual canvas for authoring desktop flows, representing actions as nodes and execution paths as connecting edges. The new layout makes branches, loops, and other complex logic easier to understand, while allowing makers to create a flow directly in flowchart mode or switch an existing flow between flowchart and sequence views.

Makers can add actions directly on nodes or between connected nodes, configure conditional and loop structures through dedicated visual layouts, and navigate larger automations with pan, zoom, a minimap, and layout controls. During debugging, executed nodes and traversed paths are highlighted, status indicators show successful or failed actions, and the errors pane can take makers directly to the node that needs attention.

Managed platform

Public preview: The new Power Platform admin plugin in Cowork brings agentic governance directly into admins’ daily flow of work

Power Platform admin plugin in Cowork

The Power Platform admin plugin in Cowork (preview) is now available, bringing agentic governance directly into the admin flow of work. Admins can ask natural-language questions and get tenant-grounded insights across environments, ownership, policy impact, and overall governance posture without switching across multiple tools.

This helps teams move faster from investigation to action by quickly identifying high-priority risks, understanding where governance gaps exist, and planning remediation with clearer context. It’s an early but important step toward agent-first administration, where governance tasks become simpler, more proactive, and easier to operationalize at scale.

Public preview: Route Power Platform monitor alert notifications to any connector backed destination

Monitor alert routing

An alert is only valuable if it reaches the people who can act on it. With the new “when an alert fires” trigger in the Power Platform for admins v2 connector, you can route Power Platform monitor alert notifications to any connector-backed destination. This brings important signals directly into the tools and workflows your teams already use. Send high-severity alerts to your operations team’s Microsoft Teams channel and automatically create Azure DevOps work items for medium and low-severity alerts, all within a single flow. By connecting alerts to your existing response processes, you can reduce manual handoffs, spend less time checking multiple tools, and help teams move from detection to action faster.

Public preview: Take your monitor metrics further via data export

Monitor metrics export

Your monitoring insights shouldn’t be limited to the last 30 days, or to the admin center. Export Power Platform monitor metrics through an API and retain them in your own storage beyond monitor’s 30-day retention window, building historical dashboards that reveal long-term trends. Combine those metrics with custom business and operational data you collect to uncover patterns, add context, and create dashboards tailored to the questions that matter most to your organization. With data exported in OpenTelemetry format, you can bring monitor insights into analytics tools such as Azure Data Explorer, Splunk, and Datadog. Share the resulting dashboards with non-admin teammates who don’t have access to the Power Platform admin center, giving more people the visibility they need to make informed decisions, in the tools they already use.
