The focus of Microsoft’s recent developments is primarily on the use of AI to support business processes. At the same time, new tools continue to be introduced to support makers as well.

Top Features

1. Improved search functionality in grids and lookups 

The search experience in grid filters and lookup fields has become significantly smarter and faster: 

  • You can search the way you are used to in modern applications—simply by typing.
  • Recognition now also works based on partial text matches.
  • Making mistakes causes fewer issues, as fuzzy search still returns relevant results.
  • You can immediately see why a result appears through visible highlighting. 

2. Generative Pages are coming to Europe 

With this release wave, Generative Pages become available globally, meaning their capabilities are no longer limited to US environments. Teams around the world can now start building AI‑driven pages that automatically align with local language and formatting preferences. 

Makers can easily specify which languages and regional formats their users expect. Generated pages are then automatically tailored to user needs by applying the correct language, date formats, number formatting, and even reading direction—delivering a truly local and familiar user experience. 

What’s in it for you?
