Is there a list of currently active experimental features?

Posted on by FinderFees

Searching the web and this forum, I only seem to be able to find posts like "how to enable Experimental Features". I know how to enable them (Settings > View all Power Automate Settings > Experimental Features > On).

What I'm looking for instead is an inclusive list to help me understand and be able to periodically check what specifically I'm introducing into my environment by enabling this option. I'm sure a list of currently active experimental features must exist somewhere?

I would like to be able to test out these potentially future-coming features, but also if I start experiencing a "random bug" with this option enabled, I would like to understand if there a new experimental feature in place that may be the cause.

If someone could point me in the correct direction to find this information, I would very much appreciate it.

Hi there,

As far as I can see, no, nothing official. You'll find some releases will have "(experimental feature)" in them, but from skimming through, it's not consistent nor in full. I guess it's because they claim they can add or take them away in a whim, so no point in documenting since it would get out of date so quickly.

I found this, but I don't think any of this translates to experimental.. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2022wave2/power-automate/planned-features

Best I can find are random bloggers jumping on it and pointing it out..

We almost need a shared wiki in here so we can be like, "OMG, A NEW ONE" and run to add it to the list ourselves...

Thanks for taking a look! (Mostly I appreciate the validation that others couldn't really find anything.)

I agree a Wiki might be nice, but it makes me curious because the deployment of the "experimental" build of Power Automate needs to happen and thus one might expect there is a note of those changes somewhere.

Perhaps, as stated, it's purposeful omission of this information to not over-hype things/make people miss them, but then I'm really not sure what the purpose is. Don't they want people trying out these features and reporting any potential issues? (Question is not necessarily directed at you @Rhiassuring 🙂)

Haha, I know it's a question into the ethers, but just because I personally can't find anything doesn't mean the others might not know something ...

@ScottShearer , @Pstork1 @Expiscornovus @VJR ? Have you ever run into any kind of release notes / listing about the ins & outs of experimental features? Literally all I found was a single entry with "(experimental feature)" next to it...

Hi @Rhiassuring,

Besides the Release wave plans I don't know of any other type of release notes, sorry.
