Business value

Existing model-driven apps use the monthly release channel to update the apps. With monthly channel releases, apps get the latest generally available features as quickly as possible.

Feature details

In 2024 release wave 1, model-driven apps in Power Apps environments change the app release channel field from Auto to Monthly channel. To use a slower release cadence, makers and admins select Semi-annual channel.

In 2024 release wave 2, model-driven apps and environments get updated with the next phase of changes. The app and environment release channel fields change from Auto to Monthly channel. To use a slower release cadence, makers and admins select Semi-annual channel.

When users select Semi-annual channel, they see the channel value in the Settings > About window.
