Power Platform Dev Weekly #186
Welcome to the Power Platform Dev Weekly!
It’s two weeks until Ignite which will no doubt contains lots of new announcements and things for us to care about, you can sign up for Ignite here.
A nice dev-relevant feature went GA last week just after we’d gone to publish that is worth a shout out is the Copilot generated deployment notes for pipelines. Read more about that feature here.
Finally worthwhile shout out - the Power Automate Dataverse Connector now has an “Environment” parameter, allowing you to change your Dataverse connection as required. Still no signs of an updated “When a row is selected” trigger - but it’s touched up as a “coming soon” feature.
Microsoft feature releases and announcements
Copilot-generated deployment notes for pipelines are Generally Available (GA)
Solution checker enforcement in Managed Environments is generally available
Microsoft Power Automate work queues are generally available
Seamlessly connect apps, data and processes across Dataverse environments
