The Power Platform Environment Settings app provides a modern, performant, accessible, secure, and extensible settings management experience. This app is intended to provide a single, unified experience for system administrators to create and manage settings for their applications.
Device-optimized screens increase the performance and reliability of your canvas apps on iOS and Android devices. Some controls also offer improved gesture support and a user experience that matches closer to the design language of the operating system.
Adding an AI record summary will allow users to access important information easily, thereby making them more productive by saving time and effort.
Makers can make their apps more intelligent and relevant by customizing Copilot capabilities of their app. To start with, they can make the Copilot chat experience richer for their apps by adding external knowledge sources and custom topics to the Copilot available for each model-driven app.
The new capabilities and experience of Copilot’s form fill assistance feature make it faster and easier for users to fill forms based on copied text content, images, files, and emails.
Draft with Copilot currently helps premium end users of canvas apps to refine their text in multiline text input boxes. With this upcoming addition to the feature, users can now write prompts to generate content for their input. This will save users time they spent editing, rewriting, and coming up with well-written content. Instead, they can jot down a few ideas and let Copilot do the rest.
Administrators are responsible for managing numerous resources within their organizations. It can be challenging for them to make informed decisions about these resources without a thorough understanding of their functions. By creating AI-generated descriptions for apps, we help administrators provide the necessary information to scale up and make informed decisions on a larger scale. This feature is enabled for all apps within Managed Environments.

By supporting existing tables when visualizing a complex data model, the entity relationship diagram (ERD) data experience will unblock makers to build actual meaningful business solutions on top of their existing data assets. With Copilot assistance, makers can easily find existing tables relevant to their data modeling requirements and build more robust business applications. With the ERD visualization of tables and relationships, makers can review new and existing tables side-by-side and define meaningful connections between them with a simple drag and drop interaction.

Employees are in control of agents, overseeing their activity, which is documented online with their workflows.
AI-generated visualizations by Copilot help end users understand patterns, trends, and relationships in their data. End users can turn tabular data into a chart easily and in context. The visualization can be further personalized to turn data into insights without needing any other analytical tool.
Copilot enables you to find, filter, and sort data more efficiently using natural language in views for model-driven apps, significantly reducing the time previously spent on advanced filtering and enhancing productivity.
Microsoft is increasing the strength of its authentication across the board, including Dynamics 365 finance and operations apps. Therefore, we are removing the option to authenticate with certificates.
Improved testing options for Power Apps. This capability supports the handling of larger-scale Power Apps without regressions, resulting in more robust applications with fewer bugs.

Environment routing offers makers a personal, safe space to build with Microsoft Dataverse without the fear of others accessing their apps or data.
This feature will allow Power Apps built over SQL using Entra to move smoothly from Dev to Test to Prod. Customers will not need to drop the SQL Entra data sources in their app when they move it to a new environment.
There is a big productivity increase to be harvested for X++ developers. Dev Div have published numbers of more than 40% of published C# code was written by Copilot, and we would like to provide similar help to X++ developers. One of the other benefits is that It helps shortening the ramp up time for new developers, which has always been a problem for the business. We're aiming for the same kind of flow as canvas apps and Dataverse have today where natural language can be used to describe certain workflows.
