Microsoft has recently announced for preview ‘Power Pages’. Expanding the low-code offerings under the Power Platform, users can now create websites that integrate across the other Power Platform components and data. The potential this provides for further extending the Power Platform is exciting, lets break it down at a high level:
What it is/does:
- Platform to quickly create and deploy internal and/or external websites.
- Integrates with other Power Platform components.
- Provides numerous options for identity providers.
- Bridges the gap between low-code and high-code, designed with ‘fusion teams’ in mind.
What it’s not:
- A replacement for Portal Pages, it’s an extension of it and a step towards re-branding Portals.
- Always intuitive, though it’s “low-code” some components are complicated to configure (ah hem, Advanced Forms).
- Available for GCC… yet! (Will be available for GCC in the near future).
Why we are excited about it:
- Pages are responsive so correctly auto-render based on the device you are using.
- Advanced features for developers to modify at the code level in Visual Studio Code to create custom components and features.
- Uses open-source ‘Liquid’ template language, which aids in adding dynamic content and creating custom templates.
- Seamless integration with other Power Platform components:
- Dataverse
- Power Apps
- Power Automate
- Power BI
- Power Virtual Agents (PVA)
- Opens up the potential for external users.
What can this do for your business:
