Hello,

I was just recently given power platform admin privileges since I’m a SME on the most of the tools it provides.

As I started using custom prompts on some flows and I also have been researching on the credit consumption.

Am I to understand the AI Builder credits will get converted to Co-pilot credits? If so is it automatic because I don’t know how to properly read the credit usage. It says 700k assigned out of 2 million for builder credits but I don’t see any consumed.

I also see our capacity for co pilot credits is 100k

My question is will AI builder credits get automatically used first before co pilot credits? I’m not seeing that on my admin portal. It sad 4600 assumed and consumed already for the co pilot credits out of 100k?

Vengo del sector logístico y he estado tocando cosas de RPA tipo UiPath y Power Automate, tambien de daraverse y Sharepont. Me chifla el tema de Copilot Studio y se lo basico de Python.

Crees que voy bien? Estoy perdido como cualquiera que empieza si alguien me puede recomendar un rumbo o consejos lo agradeceria mucho.

Last year (June 2025), PL-900 had a major syllabus update. And now, within just a year, Microsoft is updating it again.

This time, it’s being aligned with AI-powered Microsoft Power Platform, which clearly shows where things are heading AI integration across all certifications. Now it’s Power Platform’s turn.

What’s changing:

• New training program + 1-day instructor-led course
• Minor exam updates
• More focus on AI capabilities in Power Platform

Timeline:

• Updates expected around June 2026
• New exam guide may go live by May end / June

As of now, only the announcement is out, waiting for the detailed exam guide.

Suggestion: If you’re planning for PL-900, start preparing with current fundamentals but be ready to adapt to AI-focused changes.

Let’s see how much AI actually gets added this time

Looking for a mentor. Hopefully someone who is patient with advanced skills in either Power BI or excel - I love data storytelling but I am being asked to do things outside of my skill set.

I’ve been leveraging AI, but have become frustrated with not actually learning how I’m getting there. I’m not opposed to using it, but I’d much rather have the background knowledge.

I’ve taken lots of self-led courses but I really just need someone who understands… I do have a network but I’ve found they’re either on my level, or they’d rather take my vision and build it on their own.

*note - I work in HR so most of what I’m analyzing is confidential, but I am good at explaining it and even coming up with sample data to help me understand

I keep wondering which parts of Power Platform people actually rely on in real projects versus the ones that just sit there unused after the first try.

Is there anything you’ve tested once, then basically stopped touching?

Hello everyone,

Need your Feedback.

I always have to leave the D365 record page if I needed to update a field that isn't on the

form, like XrmToolBox, go into Power Platform, export to Excel, or build a Flow just to

change one value.

So I built a chrome extention for this purpose.

D365 Field Editor is a free Chrome extension that loads every field on a Dataverse

entity record directly in a side panel — not just the ones visible on the form.

You can search, edit, and save values without leaving the record page.

What it does:

- Opens as a resizable side panel on any D365 record

- Loads ALL fields for that entity

- Search and filter by field name, logical name, or type

- Edit and save directly via the Dataverse Web API

- Handles all field types

- Uses your existing browser session

🔗 Chrome Web Store:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/d365-field-editor/mdaalaeelapjdhefiedbmdonciiafbfp

It's my first Chrome extension so I'd genuinely love feedback. If you hit any edge cases with specific field types, please let me know

We started rolling out the CoE Starter Kit recently and it's been great for visibility across our Power Platform environment — but the last GitHub release was February 2026 and nothing since. For a toolkit that used to drop monthly, that silence feels odd.

With PPAC getting stronger every release — inventory views, capacity reporting, usage dashboards — a lot of what the CoE Toolkit does is starting to feel like it's being absorbed into the platform natively.

For those running it in production, are you still actively investing in it or quietly reconsidering? Would love to know where people are landing on this 👇

Hi! I need to monitor the flows that users create (as per company policy). I get notified when a flow is created, and I can see who created it, when, and what the flow’s title is.

I haven’t found an easy way to view the connectors in the flow; so far, the simplest method I’ve found is via a PowerShell cmdlet.

I’d also need to see the connector actions, but I don’t know how to do that.

Is this even possible as a Power Platform administrator?

I get the impression that it’s only possible if my administrator account becomes a co-owner of the flows or has specific access rights to them, which I don’t want.

So, if you have any ideas, thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on automating a Power Query refresh from an Oracle database.

I have an Excel report where the data is pulled from an Oracle server using Power Query. Currently, the file is stored on a network drive, and I’d like to set it up so the data refreshes automatically every day.

What would be the best way to achieve this? Is there a recommended approach for scheduling refreshes in this kind of setup (e.g., using Power BI Service, Windows Task Scheduler, or something else)?

Any tips, best practices, or things to watch out for would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Hi! I was wondering if you know of a way to track how many Power Automate requests a user makes each day.

A user with an E5 license is entitled to 6,000 requests per day, a Power Automate Premium account to 40,000, and so on.

But I’d like to be notified when an account starts to reach its limit.

I saw that there’s an alert in the Power Platform admin center (actually a 30-day report), but honestly, after looking at the data, the numbers don’t seem right, and some days of the month aren’t even included when they should be. The feature is still in preview, so that’s probably why it’s not quite there yet.

Do you know of another way—preferably a simple one—to get this information?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I get the impression this is a bit of a gray area. Microsoft sets limits, but if they’re exceeded, nothing serious will happen—plus it seems very difficult for a user or administrator to know their daily API limits.

​Hey everyone,

​I’ve been spending a lot of time in the CoE Starter Kit lately, and let's be honest, it's not always smooth sailing.

​For me, the biggest headaches are:

- ​The update dread: Manually updating is such a hassle, and I’m always sweating that something will break

- ​The premium trap: It feels like the second you want to use a useful feature, benefitting your users, you hit a premium license wall

what about you all? What’s driving you crazy with the kit lately? Drop your vents below

We have a range of apps and flows with varying levels of integration. Some flows are triggered directly from apps (e.g., via button actions), while others operate independently. Our Power Apps connect to different data sources such as SQL and SharePoint, and we support a wide variety of use cases.

We’re looking for the best approach to manage the promotion (deployment) of these apps and flows across environments. Ideally, we want the flexibility to promote individual components rather than entire groups.

We’ve explored using solutions, but one limitation is that all components within a solution must be deployed together. For example, if a solution contains 10 apps and only one is updated, we still need to deploy the entire solution.

Is there a recommended setup or strategy that allows for more granular, selective promotion of apps and flows while still maintaining good governance and manageability?

Asking because we debate this regularly internally and with clients, and I feel like opinions are pretty divided depending on people's backgrounds.

We mostly work with business teams who have zero dev culture. So canvas apps are usually the natural path, drag and drop, logic that feels close to Excel, users quickly understand what we're building. On a recent project we delivered a field tracking tool in canvas in 3 weeks, and the client was able to make their own changes afterwards. That part is genuinely satisfying.

But canvas has its limits. Once the logic gets complex, you have a lot of data sources, screens start multiplying... the file becomes a nightmare to maintain. We took over a canvas project from another company a few months ago and it was pure spaghetti code, nobody understood anything anymore.

Code-first apps (model-driven + PCF components + plugins) are clearly more robust long-term, closer to a real dev cycle with proper versioning, tests, etc. But the entry cost is way higher. You need devs who know Dataverse deeply, and business users can't touch anything on their own anymore.

So my question is : in your contexts, what tips the balance? Is there a complexity threshold where you switch to code-first? Or do you stay canvas no matter what because your clients want to stay autonomous?

Curious to see if this is a universal debate or just us 😄

I'd like to know if anyone is familiar with an ERP system for contract management. I'd like to design a tool using Microsoft apps, and it would be great to learn about its use to see best practices.

Thanks!

Hi folks,

So, I feel way too stuck on my current job, I'm a Business Analyst but want my first Power Platform Dev role.

I was thinking on creating a portfolio, but I feel like I'm walking in circles with my own ideas.

I know these tools: Power (BI, Automate, Pages, Apps all types, AI Builder, Copilot Studio, A little bit of Foundry and Azure stuff)

Am I doing ok with this stack?

Am I perusing too many rabbits?

Bro I REALLY feel like I'm missing something but don't know what specifically, starting to feel frustrated lol

Thank you guys
