March 2026 Power Platform update
Managed Platform
Licensing Capacity reporting
Licensing capacity reporting is now fully available in the Power Platform admin center (Licensing → Power Automate → Usage), giving admins a single place to see which users are over capacity and which flows are driving that usage.
Power Platform Inventory
Power Platform inventory is now generally available, giving tenant administrators a unified view of cloud flows, Copilot Studio agent flows, and Workflows agent workflows across every environment.
The new usage page
The new usage page is now in public preview with modern dashboards showing adoption trends and resource-level analytics for Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio.
Agentic Apps
Bringing Microsoft 365 Copilot into model-driven apps
Microsoft 365 Copilot integrates with model-driven Power Apps to answer questions about your app data, generate visualisations using code interpreter, and take action across Microsoft 365. You’ll see how Copilot uses app and data context to generate documents, create presentations, and even schedule meetings—all directly from your app.
Turn app data into action with Microsoft 365 Copilot
In the Copilot side pane, you can ask Copilot to summarise table data, visualise what’s active, see what’s pending, recap the history of a specific record, and reference related content surfaced through Work IQ. The result is a more natural transition from “what’s going on?” to “what should I do next?” without ever leaving the app.
You can @mention first‑party agents like Researcher and Analyst, or involve a custom agent your organisation has made available. That agent collaboration helps turn insights into action, whether that means drafting a document, creating a PowerPoint, or taking next steps like scheduling a meeting.
Building modern apps
New quality updates for modern controls in Canvas apps
Quality updates shipped across all nine modern controls in Power Apps canvas apps—Text, Number Input, Date Picker, Text Input, Tab List, Combo Box, Radio, Link, and Info Button.
Controls now share a unified property model with standardised names and typed enum values, predefined value sets, which means better IntelliSense, fewer formula errors, and less guesswork. The OnChange behaviour has been refined across controls to fire at the right moments—reducing unnecessary recalculations and making apps feel faster and more responsive. Mobile-optimised defaults are also now applied automatically when you add controls to a mobile layout.
AI-powered developments
Vibe.PowerApps.com
The new vibe.powerapps.com preview, which enables developers to build full code Power Apps from a prompt using AI-driven plan, data, and app generation.
Power Automate
Object-centric process mining analyses processes by following real interacting business objects
Object-Centric Process Mining (OCPM) is a new approach to process analysis in Power Automate Process Mining that models processes as they occur in real business environments. OCPM allows a single event to belong to multiple objects and object types — such as orders, invoices, deliveries, and payments — preserving the full web of interactions and dependencies end-to-end.
Process intelligence experience: a customisable interface for process analysis
The process intelligence experience is the next-generation interface for process analysis in Power Automate Process Mining. It replaces the previous fixed process overview with a flexible, card-based dashboard system that adapts to your analysis needs. Users can create multiple tabs to organise different analytical perspectives, apply dynamic filters across all visualisations, and arrange, resize, and configure cards to build personalised analytical workspaces.
Key enhancements include the ability to group related metrics and visualisations together logically, switch between preconfigured analytical perspectives instantly, and share dashboard configurations with team members. Continuous data refresh ensures you’re always working with current information, while the customizable layouts give you complete control over what you see and how you see it — enabling tailored views for different stakeholders and use cases.
Power Pages
Infuse Intelligent experiences into Power Pages sites with the new agent API
Agent API for Power Pages enables site creators to build custom chat and other user experiences and integrate these seamlessly with their custom-built Microsoft Copilot Studio agents.
Public Preview: Build Power Page sites with AI using agentic coding tools
Microsoft has announced the public preview of the Power Pages plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. Describe the site you want in natural language, and the plugin handles the rest — from project scaffolding and setup to Web API integrations, permissions, and site deployment.
The plugin is purpose-built for Power Pages. It understands table permissions, web roles, site settings, authentication configuration, and Web API patterns.
