Get started with Microsoft Fabric

Enable Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric is generally available. A Microsoft Fabric administrator (formerly a Power BI administrator) can turn on the Fabric experiences through the admin portal settings. Fabric can be enabled for the entire tenant or a subset of users. Microsoft Fabric is currently enabled by default for all Power BI tenants. Additionally, capacity administrators can enable or disable Fabric at the capacity level through capacity settings.

Start a free Fabric capacity trial

Customers without Power BI Premium or Fabric Capacities will receive a free Fabric capacity trial when you create a Fabric item that uses capacity. This trial Fabric capacity can be associated with one or more workspaces and is free to use for 60 days. Administrators can turn off trial functionality in the admin portal.

Learning resources

To help you get started with Microsoft Fabric, there are several resources we recommend:

  • Microsoft Fabric learning paths: A high level tour of Microsoft Fabric capabilities.

  • Microsoft Fabric tutorials: Detailed tutorials with a step-by-step guidance on how to create an end-to-end solution in Microsoft Fabric. They focus on a few different common patterns.
