Power Platform Weekly - Issue #183
Welcome to Power Platform Weekly!
Last week the Power BI August 2024 Feature Summary was presented.
We also spotted a new XrmTooBox tool, Flow Ownership Audit, for efficient tracking and management of flows and connection references owned by individual users.
Something related to the above is a 2024 wave 1 feature, recommendations to reassign orphaned cloud flows.
Have a great week and thanks for reading!
