Business value

Governance focused customers will now be able to export and store Microsoft Power Platform solutions in Source Code Control system and the solution.xml file will be less noisy during diff/merge

Feature details

Today, when exporting and storing Microsoft Power Platform solutions in Git version control, customers can't branch and merge due to unnecessary files from Power Platform causing conflicts, even if just a small solution component is changed. This feature enables customers to successfully branch and merge the relevant solution files and adds support for auditing Power Platform assets properly in Source Code Control system. Our first step in this process to address the solution.xml and make it less noisy, this is our first step towards making some of the artifacts less noisy in the solution file.
