Business value

Organizations that rely on semiannual releases for major changes may find that it limits the speed of innovation and delays access to newer features. With this feature, the Sales Hub app will be enabled for monthly release channel, allowing it to be updated every month. This frequent update cycle ensures that the Sales Hub app receives the latest, generally available features as quickly as possible, enabling you to stay at the forefront of innovation and continuously improve your workflows.

Feature details

With this feature, the out-of-the-box Sales Hub app shipped by Microsoft is enabled to use the monthly channel instead of the semiannual channel. This change allows you to get new features every month instead of having to wait for the semiannual releases. To learn more about features shipping in the monthly channel, go to Monthly channel release notes for model-driven apps.

Release channel configuration provides three options: Auto, Monthly, and Semiannual. Currently, Auto is set as the default value for the Sales Hub app. With 2024 release wave 2, the release channel for the Sales Hub app is being changed from Auto to Monthly. If you want to continue using the semiannual channel, you can set the app release channel to Semiannual before October 2024. If you’d like to enable the monthly channel for other model-driven apps, you need to set it manually.
