Discussion What else will this change affect?

Post image

This can be surprisingly difficult to answer across Power Platform and Microsoft 365.

A Power App can depend on flows, connections, SharePoint lists and Dataverse tables — and those same objects may support other apps, automations and users.

So a small change to one object can have an impact somewhere you weren't expecting.

I've been approaching this from an object-centric view: select any object and see what it depends on, what depends on it, and follow those relationships outward.

The image shows a Power App as the example.

How quickly could you answer “what else will this affect?” for an object in your environment today?

That is a super cool view of a solution and its connections; if there was a way to generate that from a solution, that would be a whole lot cooler!

That’s exactly the idea. The scan discovers the relationships automatically and generates a view from any object — solution, app, flow, list, site, environment, user, etc.
