On December 11, 2026, the Proactive control rename feature for canvas apps in Power Apps will be no longer available. How does this affect me? After December 11, 2026, makers and tenant administrators will no longer have access to Copilot (AI-powered assistant) suggestions for renaming similar controls or applying multiple suggested renames in canvas apps. Existing app control names and formulas will remain unchanged. Once this feature is retired: Copilot (AI-powered assistant) will no longer suggest names for similar controls or offer to apply multiple suggested renames when a supported control is manually renamed. This change is enforced and cannot be opted out. Existing app control names and formulas will not be affected. What action do I need to take? There is no action required by makers. Tenant administrators should inform makers about this retirement.
