On May 18 at SharePoint Conference North America, we highlighted our innovations and updates for SharePoint Business Apps.  Many of the details, including Flow, Cognitive Services, Power BI and Visio,  were also covered in our blog post, Enrich your SharePoint Content with Intelligence and Automation.

 

As always, the best source for roadmap details is the Office 365 Roadmap.  However, Kerem Yuceturk and I summarized the roadmap in our session, and I've shared that slide here  by popular request.   We'll share more highlights - including demos - on our TechCommunity SharePoint Business Apps Resource Center soon.  Thanks.

    Is there more detailed information out there yet about the item "Flows owned by lists and libraries"? I'm curious about what this exactly means (clearly I didn't attend SPC).

    I love 2 points especially - the Rich Text field support & PowerApps Delegation Queries. If I understand correctly, this will finally enable a good search engine for bigger lists on criteria other than StartsWith. It's one of my worst pains currently, great that it's being worked on (too bad it so far away though :()

    Can't wait to see this Visio Flow editor in action! The current flow editor is still awkward to use and has many quirks that don't seem to be getting fixed. A prime example is the 'don't show this again' box that seems to appear every 5 minutes or so...
