New Functionality

Environment Settings API Support

The tool loads settings from the Power Platform Environment Management endpoint and shows them in a dedicated Environment Settings API tab.

• Reads settings by environment id automatically for the active connection
• Supports compare mode when a secondary connection is selected
• Tracks edits per row and only saves changed values
• Handles boolean, text, number, and not set values
• Blocks edits for non-editable fields such as Id and TenantId

Dual-Connection Save Flow

Both settings experiences support side-by-side compare. Each connection has its own save action so you can:

• Save only primary changes
• Save only secondary changes
• Keep one side unchanged while validating the other

Environment Groups and Policy Management

The tool also includes an Environment Groups experience for reviewing and updating governance policy configuration.

• Lists environment groups and their assigned policies
• Compares policy values across groups when needed
• Surfaces rule metadata, display names, preview flags, and docs links
• Updates rule-based policies and rule sets using the Power Platform Governance API contract
• Validates and coerces value types before sending updates to avoid schema errors

Policy Metadata and Help Content

Rule metadata is loaded from the governance UI configuration and a local fallback JSON file to provide friendly labels, descriptions, and learn-more links where available.

• Shows policy help text and docs links in the info popup
• Hides empty learn-more links automatically
• Keeps policy names readable when metadata is incomplete

Notes

• If Environment Management API calls fail for a connection, the Organization Settings experience is still available.
• Some environment settings and governance rules are service-managed and may not be editable.
• Policy update payloads are type-aware to match the expected governance schema.
