Power Platform March 2026 Update: Admin & Copilot
Özet
Microsoft’s March 2026 Power Platform update adds stronger admin tools, including generally available inventory views, new licensing capacity reporting, and a preview usage dashboard that give IT teams better visibility into automation, adoption, and compliance risks across the tenant. It also expands Copilot capabilities in business apps and development experiences, making the platform more useful for both governance and day-to-day productivity.
Introduction
The March 2026 Power Platform feature update brings meaningful changes for both platform governance and app innovation. For IT administrators, the biggest value is improved tenant-wide visibility into usage, licensing, and automation inventory. For makers and end users, Microsoft is expanding Copilot-driven experiences and refining development tools across Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Pages.
What’s new
Stronger admin and governance capabilities
- Licensing capacity reporting is now fully available in the Power Platform admin center under Licensing > Power Automate > Usage.

More Copilot inside business apps
- Microsoft 365 Copilot in model-driven apps continues to expand.

- Support for @mentioning agents like Researcher, Analyst, or custom organizational agents adds more contextual task execution.
Better app-building experiences
- Modern controls in canvas apps received a broad quality refresh across nine controls.
- Improvements include consistency, performance, and a unified property model.

Power Automate process analysis improvements

Impact for IT admins and end users
Administrators gain stronger visibility into licensing consumption, automation sprawl, and tenant-wide usage patterns, which should help with cost control and governance. End users and makers benefit from more natural Copilot interactions in apps, improved canvas app reliability, and smarter process analysis tools.
