What’s New in Power Platform - February 2026 Feature Update

Every month I get excited when Microsoft drops the latest Power Platform Feature Update and the February 2026 release didn’t disappoint! This update blends AI power, modern design tools, developer flexibility and governance improvements showing how Power Platform continues to evolve from a low‑code toolset into a comprehensive application platform with AI at its core.

Here’s what really stood out to me in this release:

🤖 Copilot in the Heart of Your Apps

One of the biggest highlights is the public preview of Microsoft 365 Copilot chat inside model‑driven apps. Instead of switching between tools or documentation, you can now interact with Copilot right inside an app, ask questions about data, reasoning over records and get insights without losing context.

This feels like the next step in making apps smarter where users don’t just consume information but reason with it using AI assistance.

🤝 Human‑and‑AI Collaboration Gets Better

The update also introduces Power Apps Model Context Protocol (MCP) and an enhanced agent feed in public preview. These features aim to bring a deeper level of collaboration between humans and AI agents, especially when handling unstructured data or automating data entry tasks but with the ability to supervise and approve what agents do.

I love this because it balances AI power with human oversight something critical as automation grows.

📱⚡Sharper App Building Tools

Canvas app makers get exciting new UI capabilities:

Modern Card Control (Preview) : Building responsive layouts with adaptive cards is now easier and cleaner. The Modern Card Control is a new UI control in Power Apps that lets you design rich, responsive card‑style layouts similar to what you may see in modern apps and dashboards without complex formulas or manual layout work.

Theme Copy‑Paste (Generally Available) : A massive time‑saver for consistent branding across apps. With Theme Copy‑Paste, you can copy the styling (colors, fonts, effects) from one app and apply it to another or to multiple screens inside the same app, with just a few clicks.

Confirm() Function for Fluent Dialogs : Native dialog support that matches Fluent design and adapts to your app theme. The Confirm() function is a new Power Fx function that shows native dialog (confirmation) boxes following Fluent UI design without requiring custom code or control hack‑arounds.

These updates may seem small individually, but together they make building beautiful, consistent and user‑friendly apps much faster.

📋✨Governance and Platform Improvements

Good governance is key as Power Platform adoption scales within teams and enterprises. This update includes:

A preview of moving canvas apps and custom SharePoint forms out of the default environment : helping admins enforce better governance and cleaner environment boundaries.
Code apps in Power Apps now generally available : giving pro developers full code‑first flexibility while still benefiting from platform governance.

This means whether you’re a citizen maker or a professional developer, you get the right balance of creativity and control.

🍃📂Fresh Learning Resources

Finally, the February update also brings many refreshed training paths and learning resources from mobile offline guidance to Copilot features in app experiences, making it a great time for anyone to upskill.

Conclusions

The February 2026 Power Platform update feels like a significant step forward, not just incremental feature additions, but a clear move toward AI‑empowered, collaborative and governed application development.

Whether you’re just building your first app or managing a portfolio of enterprise solutions, there’s something in this update that can help you work smarter, faster and with greater confidence.
