Microsoft Build 2022 is coming the announcements of many things throughout the Microsoft stack. I highly recommend catching-up on the sessions for your favourite topics here: https://mybuild.microsoft.com/en-US/home
Power Pages
Power Apps Portals is now Power Pages – and of course this is what I am here to talk about: Announcing Microsoft Power Pages: Build secure, low-code websites | Microsoft Power Pages
This is definitely the most exciting announcement for me personally. Microsoft has put a lot of investment on Power Apps Portals over the years and while it has been part of the Power Apps products for a few years, it is now becoming a product of its own within the Power Platform under the new name of Power Pages.
You may think this is just a product re-branding (as we all know Microsoft loves to do that), but it is a bit more than that, community forum will now have its own dedicated forum now, similar to Power BI or Power Automate, new Site Templates will be available to accelerate your implementation, a complete new Design Studio with many new capabilities and many more. I see all of this is a reflection of the growth of the platform and as a community member very much involved in this product, I am really happy to see this evolution.
What does this mean to your current Portals?
The base of the Portals is still the same, so there is no compatibility issue between them. Microsoft haven’t released yet details on migration, the only potential impact I can think of would be on the domain of your portals (from .powerappsportals.com to .powerpages.com). This should be more clear over the upcoming weeks.
