Manage exemptions for Power Pages sites

Some Power Pages updates, such as a feature retirement, a required migration, or a configuration change, have a fixed enforcement date. If you can't update your sites before that date, an admin can use the Manage exemptions page in the Power Platform admin center to request a time-bound extension for the impacted sites. This self-service mechanism doesn't require contacting Microsoft Support.

Important

You need the Power Platform admin or Dynamics 365 admin role to request an exemption.

The process is the same for all updates that support exemptions. Review the update details, identify affected sites, select the sites that need extra time, and confirm the extension request.

Note

An extension delays enforcement. It doesn't remove the requirement. The update is enforced when the extension expires, and the extension can't be renewed. Use the extension period to complete the required changes.

Prerequisites

• A Power Platform Admin or Dynamics 365 Administrator role in the Power Platform admin center.
• Knowledge of which sites can't be updated before the enforcement date.

Open the Manage exemptions page

The Manage exemptions page lists the updates that are currently being enforced for your tenant. Each update includes a summary of the change and its enforcement date.

1. Sign in to the Power Platform admin center.
2. In the left navigation pane, select Manage, and then select Power Pages.
3. Select the Manage exemptions tab.

If an update doesn't appear on this page, it either doesn't apply to your tenant or doesn't support self-service extensions.

Review the update details

Select an update to open its details pane. Use the details pane to determine whether to update affected sites before the enforcement date or request an extension.

Section	Description
What is changing	Describes the change, the enforcement date, and the effect on sites that aren't updated.
What you need to do	Lists the required action and provides a Learn more link to related guidance.
Impacted sites	Lists the affected sites in your tenant. Use the search box to find a specific site.
Next steps	Describes how to make, test, and deploy the required changes before the enforcement date.

Update as many sites as possible before the enforcement date. Request an extension only for sites that can't be updated in time.

Request an extension

Select the affected sites and submit an extension request.

1. In the details pane, select the impacted sites that require more time. You can select one or more sites.

2. Select Request an exemption.

3. Review the extension details on the confirmation page. The page shows the date when the update will be enforced on the selected sites. Microsoft determines the extension period for each update.

   

4. Read the acknowledgment and select the checkbox to confirm that you understand the risk and that the extension can't be renewed. You can't submit the extension request without selecting it.

5. Confirm the request.

The extension is applied to the selected sites immediately.

Track an extension

After you submit the request:

• Enforcement is deferred on the selected sites until the new date shown on the confirmation page.
• Notify the site owners of the affected sites, so they can make the required changes before the extension expires.
• The update is applied automatically when the extension expires. No further action is required, and no further extension is available.
• The request is recorded that includes who submitted the request, when it was submitted, and which sites were selected. The record remains visible after the extension expires.

Return to Manage exemptions at any time to review active extensions and their expiration dates.

Note

You can request an extension only once per site, per update. After an extension is granted or expires, the same site can't receive another extension for that update. Sites that aren't updated before the extension expires might be affected when enforcement occurs.

Review updates currently being enforced

The following updates support self-service extensions.

Update	Description	Extension	More information
Web API wildcard (*) operator usage expires on September 14, 2026	The wildcard (*) field configuration for the Web API is retiring. Sites that continue to use * in Webapi/<table>/fields after the enforcement date might lose access to Web API data, causing affected site experiences to stop working. Replace the wildcard with an explicit list of the columns your site uses, or configure the columns by using a supported system view.	90 days	Migrate from the Web API wildcard (*) field configuration
