Worth reading

[???Power?Apps???]?Modern, fast,?standards-compliant. The?new?Power?Apps?controls?are?here?and?waiting?for?their?first?tests.??

I have already done mine. The results are most positive. The only thing left to do is to wait for the next controls, as the set is modest for the time being, although interesting results can be achieved:?

And also a video demo:?

My favourite is the timeline control. You can read more about it and the others here: Modern controls coming to canvas apps | Microsoft Power Apps?

[?? Power Apps ??]?If you use the SQL Connector in your Power Apps, I recommend reading this article: Enhanced security for implicitly shared connections in Power Apps | Microsoft Power Apps?

[?? SharePoint ??] Creating pages, lists, library and updates will soon be even easier. This is because the options for creating these items will go into the application bar (that narrow bar on the left visible throughout SharePoint). A good change.?

[?? Teams ??] Speaker Mode, is a new mode in Teams that automatically shows the currently speaking person in the main window. It will be implemented by mid-April, although it's hard to call it a new feature. I still remember it from the days of Office Communication Server (read: a long, long time ago). That doesn't change the fact that the feature will certainly be useful.?

[??Azure AD ??] The basics, particularly in matters of safety, are worth being reminded of regularly. Especially as the rules are not difficult. I highly recommend an article with a short checklist of these issues in Azure AD: Quick Wins to Strengthen Your Azure AD Security - Microsoft Community Hub?

[?? SharePoint ??] Finally, I have for you a summary of news from the world of SharePoint Online. Although March was dominated by other technologies, there was also a lot of activity in the world of sites and lists: The Intrazone Microsoft SharePoint Roadmap Pitstop March 2023?
