Microsoft has unveiled its latest feature updates for the Power Platform, covering innovations from October and November 2026. The updates were highlighted during the Power Platform Community Conference, showcasing enhancements across Power Apps, AI-powered development, and community tools.
Power Apps now includes a modern attachments control in public preview, allowing makers to build flexible file experiences with multi-file selection, image thumbnails, and drag-and-drop functionality. The control supports SharePoint list attachments and Dataverse scenarios, with configurable settings for file types, sizes, and events. Additionally, new modern controls like avatar groups, persona cards, and metrics cards are available to enrich canvas apps, with more controls planned by the end of 2026.
The modern data grid in Power Apps has been enhanced with automatic loading and numbered pages, enabling incremental data browsing. The SharePoint customize forms experience now features a responsive, multi-column layout, reducing the effort required to create adaptable forms. New app-from-data templates are also available, providing responsive browse and edit screens with modern controls.
On the AI front, business apps in Work IQ are now in public preview, allowing users to interact with Power Apps model-driven app data through natural-language conversations. AI row summary is coming to the modern data grid, generating concise summaries for Dataverse rows. Generative pages can now call Dataverse custom APIs, integrating AI-generated experiences with server-side business logic. Additionally, generative pages support telemetry export to Azure Application Insights for performance monitoring.
