Manage behavior settings

Use Behavior settings to adjust how model-driven apps appear and function. These settings do not apply to canvas apps, except where noted.

These settings can be found in the Power Platform admin center by going to Environments > [select an environment] > Settings > Product > Behavior.

Make sure you have the System Administrator security role or equivalent permissions to update the business closures.

Release channel
Model-driven apps release channel	If this setting is set to Semi-annual channel, users in the org will use features from the current release wave, which is existing behavior.

Basic behavior
Auto save	If On, after a record is created (initially saved), any changes made to a form will automatically be saved thirty seconds after the change is made. The 30-second period starts again after a change is made. If no changes are made, the automatic save doesn’t happen. More information: Manage auto-save	On
Load default static content from Content Delivery Network	Canvas apps will load out-of-the-box static content from the Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) service. For firewall restrictions and IP approved list related issues, system administrators can select Off to disable the Azure Content Delivery Network feature. Note: This setting does not apply to model-driven apps as they do not use CDN currently.	On
Share reassigned records with original owner	Select whether a record is shared with the original owner of the record, or completely reassigned to another user.	Off
Open in application mode	Select On to enable application mode. When this mode is enabled, customer engagement apps can be opened in a browser without menus, navigation, or toolbars. Hiding these parts of the browser causes customer engagement apps to appear like a separate application rather than a website.	Off
