Embedded Canvas App Performance Enhancements

In the last few months, I have been working on a migration project for a customer from a legacy system to Dataverse, and one of the functionalities included an embedded Canvas app containing multiple screens and quite a bit of functionality. The main issue that was encountered is that within some geographical regions it was taking a longer time than expected to load the app.

Audit Retention enhancements in Power Platform Admin Center

Currently auditing is used to track changes that are made on the organization records and user access so that these can be reviewed at a later date.

The main issue that is encountered by many organizations relates to the retention policy of audit logs. Until this new changes, there was no retention policy for auditing, and auditing would be kept forever unless manually deleted by the system administrator.
