Welcome to the Power Platform monthly video update. Here is a quick summary of last month’s product, community, and learning news. Let’s see what’s new in Power Platform.
Platform management
Licensing capacity reporting
Licensing capacity reporting is now fully available in the Power Platform Admin Center > Licensing > Power Automate Usage. Admins can now easily see which users are over capacity and which flows use the most resources. Export options and a unified licensing page are coming soon, along with more improvements.
Moving on to Power Platform inventory,
Power Platform Inventory is now generally available. Tenant Administrators can now see all Cloud Flows, Copilot Studio, Agent Flows, and Workflows. Agent workflows across every environment in one view. Soon, additional connectors, actions, and key usage data will make it even easier to identify active automations, enforce compliance, and avoid orphan resources.
Next, let’s discuss the new usage page,
The new usage page is now in public preview. It features modern dashboards that show adoption trends and analytics for Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio. You can already see how Flow runs data to track execution patterns across your tenant.
Agentic apps
Bringing Microsoft 365 Co‑pilot into model-driven apps.
Earlier, we showed how to enable Microsoft 365 Copilot in model-driven apps. Now you can use it where your business processes open in the Copilot side-play pane. You can ask Copilot to summarize table data, show active or pending items, recap area causes history, and find related content through Work IQ. This helps you move easily from asking “What’s going on?” to deciding “What should I do next?”all without leaving the app.
With Microsoft 365 Co-Pilot, you can bring in the right agent when you need it. You can add or mention built-in agents, such as Researcher and Analyst, or use a custom agent your organization provides. Working with agents helps you turn insights into action, such as drafting documents, creating PowerPoint presentations, or scheduling meetings. Everything stays connected to your app context and chat history. To get started, follow the admin setup guide to see how end users work in the pane and learn how to customize the experience with agents.
Building Modern apps
New quality updates for modern controls in Canvas apps.
We’ve released quality updates for all 9 modern controls in Power Apps: Canvas Apps, Text Number Input, Date Picker, Text Input, Tab List, Combo Box, Radio, Link, and Info Button. This major update focuses on consistency, reliability, and flexibility, driven by maker feedback. Whether building new apps or updating existing ones, these improvements make modern controls easier to use.
The main improvements are inconsistency, performance, and developer experience. Controls now use a unified property model with standardized names and predefined value sets offering better intelligence, fewer formula errors, and less guesswork. The on-change behavior now triggers at the right times for faster, more responsive apps. Mobile optimized defaults are automatically applied to mobile layouts.
Migration is supported at every step. When you open an app with an older modern control, you’ll see an in-product notification with a “learn more” link. An Update button will be available soon for all controls, each with its own migration guide for property renames and formula changes. You choose when and how to upgrade.
Power Automate
Object-centric process mining analyzes processes by following real interacting business objects
Object-centric process mining (OCPM) is a new way to analyze processes in Power Automate Process Mining. It models processes as they happen in real business environments. In contrast to traditional case-centric process mining, which groups events under a single case (e.g., an Order ID), OCPM allows a single event to belong to multiple objects and types, such as orders, invoices, deliveries, and payments. This retains the full network of interactions and dependencies intact.
This feature solves a key problem in case-centric mining when events involve multiple objects. Putting them into a single case can hide relationships, duplicate events, or distort metrics. OCPM keeps these connections clear, showing object life cycles, activity nodes across object types, and color-marked flows. This makes it easier to spot bottlenecks. Check compliance rules, such as “ship only after payment,” and see how different processes or flows come together.
OCPM works best when outcomes depend on relationships between different object types, such as in order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, or supply chain processes that can involve multiple related activities. Case-centric mining remains best for focused, single-instance workflows and processes centered on a single object or case.
The Process Intelligence Experience is the new interface for process analysis in Power Automate Process Mining. It replaces the old fixed overview with a flexible card-based dashboard that adapts to your needs. You can create multiple tabs for different views, use dynamic filters across all visualizations, and arrange or resize cards to build your own workspace.
Major enhancements include grouping related metrics and visualizations, switching between pre-configured views instantly, and sharing dashboard setups with your team. Data refreshes continuously, so you always have up-to-date information. Customizable layouts let you control what you see and how, making it easy to create views for different stakeholders and use cases.
Power pages
Infuse intelligent experience into Power Pages sites with the new Agent API
The Agent API for Power Pages lets site creators build custom chat and other user experiences. You can also connect these with your own Microsoft Copilot Studio agents. This gives presentations more flexibility to add intelligence to their web experiences.
Public preview, build Power Pages sites with AI using agentic coding tools
We are announcing the public preview of the Power Pages plugin for GitHub Copilot, CLI, and Cloud Code. Just describe the site you want in plain language. The plugin handles everything from project setup and web API integrations to permissions and site deployment.
The plugin is designed specifically for Power Pages. It understands table permissions, web roles, site settings, authentication, and web API patterns because it generates platform-aware code. You spend less time on manual setup and more time building your site.
