Apps, agents and Copilot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Public preview: M365 Copilot chat in model-driven apps<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Copilot chat is now available directly inside apps built with Power Apps, bringing the intelligence of Microsoft 365 Copilot into the flow of business processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unified experience\u2014currently limited to model-driven apps\u2014lets users ask questions, reason over in\u2011app data, and connect insights from documents, communications, and collaboration\u2014without leaving the application they\u2019re working in. By embedding Copilot chat into low\u2011code apps, organizations can keep users in context and in flow, reducing app switching while accelerating decision\u2011making. Teams can also leverage powerful first\u2011party agents like Researcher and Analyst, as well as custom Copilot Studio agents, to analyze data, generate insights, and take informed action directly within their apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To manage Microsoft 365 Copilot chat for model-driven apps, start by learning how to manage Microsoft 365 Copilot chat. Power Platform administrators can set up and configure the Microsoft 365 Copilot chat feature for users in their environment and makers can then enable or disable Microsoft 365 Copilot chat for a specific model-driven app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public preview: Power Apps MCP and enhanced agent feed<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’re bringing Power Apps Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and an enhanced agent feed into public preview. This is a step to enable better human-agent collaboration directly inside business applications with built\u2011in human supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Apps MCP brings agentic features from apps to agents as tools<\/strong> – starting with data entry. Agents will be able to parse the unstructured data into forms that users use in apps and create records directly, as well as flag them for human review or action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The enhanced agent feed provides a shared workspace for humans to oversee the agent activity\u2014makers can provide granular visibility into agent actions for their users, use side\u2011by\u2011side comparison views for approvals, and direct navigation to in\u2011app records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building modern apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Public preview: a new modern Card control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This new modern Card control <\/strong>helps makers build clean, responsive, and consistent UI layouts in canvas apps.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The modern Card control<\/strong> allows makers to present structured information\u2014such as summaries, previews, and tiles\u2014using a single layout\u2011aware control instead of composing multiple classic controls. Cards automatically adapt to vertical or horizontal layouts and align with Fluent UI design principles, improving visual consistency across apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By reducing layout complexity and improving responsiveness out of the box, the Card control enables faster UI composition while supporting accessibility and scalability across screen sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally available: theme copy\u2011paste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With theme copy-paste it is it easy to reuse visual styles across canvas apps without manual reconfiguration.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Theme copy\u2011paste allows makers to copy and reuse a Canvas app\u2019s theme\u2014including colors, typography, and styling tokens\u2014across other apps. These themes are copied as YAML which can also be edited manually by makers as text. This reduces repetitive setup and helps ensure consistent branding and visual identity across an app portfolio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By simplifying theme reuse, this update accelerates new app creation and supports design governance at scale, especially for teams managing multiple canvas apps across environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally available: confirm() function in canvas apps as a fluent dialog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Animated<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Confirm<\/strong> function displays a modal confirmation dialog<\/strong> over the current canvas screen, prompting the user to explicitly confirm or cancel before continuing. In canvas apps, there\u2019s also a dismissal path (for example, clicking outside the dialog) that is treated as no action<\/strong> and returns blank<\/strong><\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The canvas experience is designed to align with Fluent dialog<\/strong> behavior and to respect the current app theme. You need to have modern controls turned on to get fluent dialog, else you will get a browser native dialog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managed platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Public preview: move canvas apps and custom SharePoint forms out of the default environment<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The default environment in Power Platform often becomes a shared space where makers build and test applications, leading to potential challenges with governance and organization. As resources accumulate in this environment without structured oversight, administrators may face difficulties managing security policies, tracking ownership, and maintaining compliance across their tenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We introduced a recommendation in Power Platform advisor, as a preview, that enables administrators to migrate certain canvas apps and custom SharePoint forms from the default environment to designated managed environments. The migration can be done manually from the Recommendations page under the Actions menu in the Power Platform admin center or automated using the Power Platform for Admin v2 Connector. When moving apps, administrators can choose to keep the original resource as is or restrict access to it by quarantining, or deleting it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps Power Platform administrators in implementing effective governance and DLP controls and establish clearer boundaries for app development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally available: host and run code apps in Power Apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Animated<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re excited to announce that code apps in Power Apps are now generally available<\/strong>, empowering developers and IT alike at a moment when organizations are building more custom applications than ever. With the rise of AI\u2011accelerated and code\u2011generation\u2011assisted development, teams can build high\u2011quality web apps faster than before while IT faces mounting expectations around governance, security, and operational oversight. Code apps bridge that gap by giving developers full code\u2011first flexibility and<\/em> giving IT the enterprise\u2011grade guardrails needed to manage a growing app landscape<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Apps code apps bring the full strength of Power Platform to web developers. Build with popular frameworks (React, Vue, and others) in any code-first IDE, and deploy to Power Apps. Every code app automatically becomes a governed Power Platform asset, giving IT visibility and control without creating friction for developers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
