Business Value

Today, there's no way to view the code of a canvas App in Power Apps Studio. With this feature, you can use code view to see your app's underlying code to better understand the app's functionality. You can also copy the code to share and paste the code to create new controls.

Feature Details

With this feature, you can view the source code for the canvas app in a more user-friendly YAML format that is up-to-date.

With code view, you'll be able to:

  • Copy controls from Power Apps Studio as YAML code.
  • Paste YAML code to Power Apps Studio to create controls.
  • View the YAML code within Power Apps Studio.
  • Create templates for screens and reuse code.

The Power Fx formula bar must be turned on from the app settings to view the code for a control.

Business Value

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.

Feature Details

In app designer for model-driven apps, you can use AI to help you generate descriptions for your apps. You will have the option to generate an app description in the Publish dialog or in the App Settings panel. This will create a description that you can review and then save as part of the app. The AI-generated app description is also available to app users during the web player experience by hovering over the app name in the header.

Business Value

Employees are in control of agents, overseeing their activity, which is documented online with their workflows.

Feature Details

Agents help automate business processes completely, saving time for employees and streamlining workflows. However, with agent oversight experiences, employees are in ultimate control. While agents perform actions in the background, everything gets documented. This allows employees to quickly see and review cases where the agent encountered obstacles or was unable to complete the task as intended, enabling them to act and maintain important oversight over the agent’s actions.

Business Value

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.

Feature Details

Are you tired of creating new tables, only to discover that they duplicate existing ones in your environment? Say hello to a smarter way of designing data models using the Copilot-assisted ERD designer. Now, instead of starting from scratch, you can leverage your existing tables to build more robust data models. Here’s how it works: Simply type out your requirements in natural language, and Copilot will craft a multi-table data model that incorporates both new and existing tables. Need to find relevant tables quickly? Copilot’s recommendations have you covered and will locate the right tables in seconds. Once you’ve assembled your tables, switch to the ERD view. There, you can review your new and existing tables side-by-side. While editing existing tables in the ERD view isn't fully supported yet, you can create lookups into the existing tables in a simple drag-and-drop interaction to define meaningful connections between tables.

Business Value

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.

Feature Details

The server for Dynamics 365 finance and operations apps, known as the Application Object Server (AOS), will strengthen security by removing the ability to authenticate with certificates. This means we will no longer provide the ability in the Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) to provide a certificate. The user must use a username and password, using an Entra policy, to avoid multi-factor authentication.

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.

Feature Details

Expanded support for Test Engine tests using YAML and Power FX. Test Engine will have enhanced canvas app testing capabilities, introduce model-driven app testing, and more robust authentication options.

Business Value

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.

Feature Details

The value will be harvested in the GitHub Copilot Chat control within Visual Studio 2022. There, the user will be able to provide natural language test describing workflows and have the system do the work. As an example, you could write: "Create a table class MyTable with a name and an Age field and create an index over the Name field. Then, create a form that consumes the data in this table," upon which the system would create the artifacts suggested.
