Makers can add and manage this logic in Power Pages Studio, with authoring supported in Visual Studio Code, which provides IntelliSense and compile-time validation. The session also includes a walkthrough of Microsoft's XIAD program, recent updates to the program and a look at the Train the Trainer events.
