Power Apps has shifted to an AI-first ecosystem by March 2026, replacing classic controls with Fluent 2 modern controls, App.Formulas over legacy vars, and generative pages via natural language prompts. SharePoint delegation improves to 2,000 items. Licensing moves to Premium/PAYG. Core app-building principles endure but use streamlined methods for better performance and scale.

Paul Stork's 2022 Power Apps masterclass relied on manual TimeZoneOffset formulas, Power Automate workarounds for >2000 records, and math-based layouts. By April 2026, these are obsolete: Dataverse handles time zones natively, delegation supports UpdateIf/RemoveIf 2, and Fluent 2 grids replace math. Native mobile offline and Power Apps Monitor with AI supersede LoadData/SaveData and warnings. Per App licenses ended; use Premium or pay-as-you-go. Guide modernizes six core scenarios via configuration.
