Key Takeaways
- Toggling online vs. offline: There is a feature for toggling the offline database with server-only on WiFi for canvas apps. For canvas apps that have the ability to go offline, users will have a setting to turn that on or off, determining what can be used on cellular versus WiFi. General availability is in November.
- Streamlined header navigation: There are updates coming to the look and feel in the maker portal. This could also relate to theme elements that we looked at previously.
- Form filling: There are two features related to form filling for model-driven apps. Users can have help filling out forms, such as contact information, with enhancements like using images, files, or emails. You can drag and drop elements in to fill out foms. The second update is a smart paste feature. By copying an email that contains customer information and pasting it into the model-driven app, Copilot will be able to read the data and determine which fields it should go in.
- Visualizing data with Copilot: There will be a button to turn your data into a chart. There has already been a preview of visualizing with Power BI, but this will differe as it’s visualizing your view with Copilot.
