Power Platform 2026 Release Wave 1: Power Automate
UG Expert Kylie Kiser continues discussing the Power Platform 2026 Release Wave 1, this time touching on Power Automate updates. She highlights features spanning across cloud flows, Copilot for Power Automate, desktop flows, and process mining.
Key Takeaways
- Restore accidentally deleted flows: If you delete a flow within the portal, and you were a flow owner or admin for that environment, you’ll be able to view recently deleted flows and recover them. This should be coming in June.
- View property value expanded inline in the new cloud flow designer: Users will be able to view property values from multiple steps at once without needing to select each step separately. This cloud flow feature can automatically be turned on.
- Improved Power Automate licensing dashboard: The Copilot for Power Automate licensing dashboard will include a comprehensive view of license consumption, more details on the Power Automate processes, hosted processes, process mining add-on and other add-on licenses, recommendations for managing licenses, and a single location to download usage reports.
- Video logs for unattended runs: When using desktop flows, these are running on your virtual machine. If it fails, you often don’t have the context to understand what’s happening. Now, instead of just having a log, you’ll have a video of what happened over the last 60 seconds before that failure to determine what went wrong and better troubleshoot to fix it.
- Create and visualize custom KPIs in the process intelligence experience: This process mining feature enables users to ensure that business priorities are at the center and not just using what it assumed the priorities were. Users will be able to create custom metrics that they can edit and use within the native visualizations.
