Auto Update Applications on Power Platform

By | August 26, 2022

App Auto Update is a new feature in public preview that allows automatic updates of applications. Those applications are installed through Microsoft AppSource. If the applications are installed manually within CRM then those publishers will not be shown in the Publisher list. This feature helps both publishers and customers to keep the applications up-to-date in a simple way.

Let’s see how to enable Auto Update Setting in the Power Platform.
