2024

We are pleased to announces the General Availability of the Power Apps maker welcome content feature, which allows Power Platform admins to customize the welcome message that makers see when they sign in to the maker portal. The feature can be used to provide makers with important information, resources, and updates on Power Platform.

We are excited to announce General Availability of Block unmanaged customizations. This is an environment setting that allows Power Platform system administrators to block direct development in production environment by preventing unmanaged customizations. By blocking any unmanaged customizations and import of unmanaged solutions, admin can ensure that any changes to the environment, specifically the test and production environments, are only going through approved application lifecycle management (ALM) processes that have reliability, safety, and auditing.

Welcome to the Power Apps monthly feature update! We will use this blog to share a summary of product, community, and learning updates from throughout the month so you can access it in one easy place. This month we’ve got a great set of updates for Makers, Admins, and users across Power Apps, Dataverse and Copilot.

We are excited to announce the General Availability of Customer Managed encryption keys for Power Apps data in your environments! Customer Managed encryption keys (CMK) provide an added data protection layer for your cloud assets on top of the Microsoft-managed default encryption keys. This extra protection is especially relevant for highly regulated industries like Healthcare and Financial Services and is now available for all managed environments.

If you haven’t already heard, Power Platform is advancing in the mission to democratize healthy ALM by removing a significant barrier to entry: manual setup. We are excited to announce that the feature set included in Pipelines for All is now Generally Available, and we’ve made some upgrades, such as adding a stage and reusing pipelines across dev environments, to make personal pipelines even more useful across a variety of use cases.

Virtual network support, now generally available for Dataverse plug-ins within Power Platform, enhances security for outbound connections to private network resources. Leveraging Azure Subnet Delegation, customers can delegate subnets to Power Platform, ensuring egress traffic management aligns with network policies.
