Power Platform Weekly - Issue #84

Welcome to Power Platform Weekly!

Last week General Availability of Access Migration to Power Apps and Dataverse was announced.

What happens with a model-driven or canvas app when the maker of the app leaves the organization? That was sorted out in this post, Updating ownership for Power Apps apps.

April brought us a new record, 36 new Independent Publisher connectors were published.

There are two events to look forward to this week, Power Apps Developer Bootcamp and an in-person event, Oslo Power Platform and beyond!

Thanks for reading!
