Microsoft adds long-term retention data grids to model-driven apps
Microsoft released the LTRDisplay control for Power Apps, enabling standard grid views of long-term retention data in model-driven apps. Previously, enterprise teams needed custom code for archived Dataverse compliance records. This native component targets mission-critical environments, widening the gap between canvas citizen developers and enterprise model-driven builders.
Pulse
Microsoft brings modern theming and offline Dataverse sync to Power Apps
Microsoft's Power Platform 2026 Release Wave 1 standardizes modern theming across canvas apps, eliminating manual design tweaks. Offline-first Dataverse sync enables apps to work without internet and auto-sync later. Grid search improves too. Theming saves hours; offline requires premium licensing over SharePoint.
Pulse
SharePoint introduces automated Word and PDF generation from forms
SharePoint structured documents let builders upload Word templates with placeholders. Copilot maps them to form fields and generates completed Word or PDF files on submission. Supports conditional logic and Power Automate triggers. Requires Copilot license for template creators only. Replaces brittle Power Automate PDF pipelines with native SharePoint handling.
Pulse
Microsoft lets AI agents write canvas apps via new server
Microsoft released the Canvas Apps Authoring MCP Server in preview. It enables AI agents like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to generate and edit Power Apps canvas apps from natural language prompts. The server converts prompts to YAML files for screens, controls, and Power Fx formulas, syncing directly to Power Apps Studio via coauthoring. Requires .NET 10.0 SDK install and coauthoring enabled. Automates up to 90% of UI layout and data binding, eliminating manual drag-and-drop drudgery.
Pulse
Microsoft expands Agent Academy with new Copilot Studio modules
Microsoft released a spring update to Agent Academy, adding redesigned interface and new Special Ops and Cowork Collective modules for building Copilot Studio agents in Power Platform. This consolidates training previously scattered for developers. It signals shift toward agent development for all app builders, but risks distracting from core canvas app skills like data delegation and responsive design.
Pulse
Microsoft embeds Power Apps directly into Copilot chats
Microsoft's public preview embeds Power Apps canvas apps directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot chats. Users trigger and interact with custom tools mid-conversation without switching apps. This solves discoverability issues for internal apps but demands responsive designs to fit the chat pane.
