| SharePoint Framework domain isolated web parts retirementCategory:SharePoint OnlineNummer:MC792601Status:planForChange | After careful consideration and extensive review of usage data and feedback Microsoft has decided to retire the domain isolated web parts feature in the SharePoint Framework (SPFx).
[When will this happen:]
[How this will affect your organization:] If your organization still uses domain isolated web parts, after the change has rolled out these will render an error message and stop functioning. We recommend customers to update the impacted web parts as regular web parts and redeploy them. [What you need to do to prepare:] To understand whether you have installed domain isolated web parts and granted permissions you can verify if the SharePoint admin center API access page contains permissions listed under the Isolated grouping. If you see permissions listed under Isolated then you can use the instructions described on the domain isolated web part retirement page to discover the solutions, their domain isolated web parts and where those web parts are used. This resource will also contain the needed steps to update the web parts to not use domain isolation. Note: There will not be an option to extend domain isolated web parts beyond April 2, 2026.

| Power Platform – Environment groups and environment routing general availabilityCategory:Power PlatformNummer:MC792917Status:stayInformed | Starting on May 16, 2024, Power Platform Environment groups and improvements to Default Environment Routing will become generally available. These features help administrators govern at-scale more quickly and easily through features such as Managed Environments for Power Platform. How does this affect me? Power Platform’s environment groups allow administrators to organize numerous environments into structured groups with rules for bulk governance, such as security and compliance. Default environment routing is a governance feature that directs makers to their personal developer environments, similar to OneDrive, for building with Microsoft Dataverse. This routing ensures that new environments are preconfigured with baseline controls required by the organization. Together, these features streamline management and enhance security for any-scale of Power Platform implementation. What do I need to do to prepare? This message is for awareness and no action is required. For more information, please review Environment groups and Default environment routing. |
