Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform Release Waves
On February 18th, 2025 Microsoft announced the public preview of the data exploration agent for Model driven apps. This new agent provides the ability to find records using complex filters using Copilot and Natural language to describe what data you are looking for.
With the Microsoft announcement of Code view in Power Apps Studio, developers can not view and use the source code in YAML format and Power FX format. This allows selection of particular controls and see the YAML code that makes up that control
On May 7th, 2024 Microsoft announced the General Availability of blocking unmanaged customizations in your environments. This new feature will prevent users from making unmanaged changes in the test and production environments as well as restrict the import of unmanaged solutions into production.

As part of the 2024 Power Platform Release Wave 1, Microsoft has released (currently in Public Preview) the ability to create secured fields and mask either all or parts of the field based on regular expressions. This would allow us to show parts of the secured fields (such as the last 4 digits of a social security number) on the form without having to deal with custom scripts and not having the ability to export the full data of those fields.
In the last week or so, depending on your region, you might have encountered some changes in the way Security roles are accessed from the Power Platform Admin Center. While this seems to be available at this time in most Geographies, some of them might still be missing.
