UG Expert Kylie Kiser concludes her reviews of theĀ Power Platform 2026 Release Wave 1Ā with a look at governance and administration updates. While the Release Wave was pushed in April, there are still features being released over the span of a few months.
Key Takeaways
- GitHub support for source code integration in Power Platform: There’s already a lot of this integration with Azure DevOps, but now there’s more focus on native experiences using Git. There are two other related features that are worth checking out as well.
- Move apps out of the default environment: This enables users to get apps into their release pipeline. This will be particularly useful for citizen developers.
- Automate governance with Agentic Center of Enablement: The idea of this feature is to switch from reactive to proactive with AI agents to detect risk, prioritize issues, and automate remediation plans. There are several different agents within this.
- Discover and foster Power Platform adoption with the new Usage page: Users can now build with the new Usage page, which includes capabilities for more analysis right within the Admin Center. It will help users track adoption, view the most used apps, identify the most used resources, provide metrics around total distinct users, and more.
