Here's what you're missing
One-hour video guide demonstrates modern Power Apps controls
Power Apps trainer Laura Rogers releases a 1-hour video building a full canvas app from scratch using only modern controls. It skips classic controls' pixel-perfect tweaks, covers screen setup to data connections, and delivers responsive UIs that look professional without manual adjustments.
Open-source Power Platform ToolBox adds connection exports
Power Platform ToolBox v1.2.1 enables exporting environment connections as files for easy import via XrmToolBox. Supports US Government Dataverse and adds a community browser plus settings tab. Eliminates manual re-authentication of SharePoint lists and tables when moving Power Apps between environments.
Microsoft links Copilot agents to custom Power Apps code interfaces
Microsoft introduces integration for connecting Copilot Studio agents to custom React code interfaces in Power Apps, using Dataverse skills for direct database access. This shifts the platform toward pro-code development, widening the gap with citizen drag-and-drop tools. Citizen developers should prioritize reusable components over custom AI interfaces.
Microsoft plans AI agents for Power Apps in 2026 release wave
Microsoft plans autonomous AI agents in Power Apps and Power Automate for 2026 Release Wave 1 (April-Sept). Agents perform multi-step tasks without prompting, evolving apps from static forms to active workers. Citizen developers must first fix data issues like delegation errors to avoid amplified mistakes.
Microsoft puts Power Apps into Copilot chats but leaves Canvas builders behind
Microsoft's public preview embeds Model-driven Power Apps into Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word, Excel, and Teams. Users query, update, and create records conversationally with field prediction. Canvas apps on SharePoint are excluded, requiring Power Apps Premium and Dataverse. This shifts citizen developers from free standalone apps to premium AI-integrated solutions.
Power Apps fails to import Copilot Studio solutions with unstructured data
Power Apps fails to import Copilot Studio solutions containing unstructured knowledge sources such as PDFs or documents. An SQL constraint error during import and knowledge setup causes service degradation. Microsoft is deploying a mitigation script. Solutions without unstructured sources import normally. Teams must remove knowledge sources to proceed with deployments.
