PowerApps and Flow are becoming a more integral part of SharePoint Online with the imminent release of Custom Forms with PowerApps and the Flow Launch Panel. Starting in November, these features will no longer be considered as preview features.
If you have the Preview Features switch turned off in SharePoint administration center today, you were not seeing the Flow and PowerApps buttons in modern lists and libraries. Once this change goes into effect, the buttons will become available, regardless of the setting: Flow button in modern libraries, and both Flow and PowerApps buttons in modern lists.
The change will start with our First Release tenants, and then move forward into the rest of the production in two waves. We hope to complete the change over the month of November.
PowerApps and Flow are still working on completing their certification for government and sovereign cloud environments with stricter compliance requirements, and the buttons will continue to remain invisible for these environments, independent of the preview features switch setting.

Hi Kerem,
should I being seeing this in mt First release tenant? I'm not seeing it at this stage.

I stand corrected ... yes I am
Nov 15 2017 01:43 PM
Hi @Deleted, yes, it should be visible if you are not in a sovereign or government cloud. Make sure you have a First Release tenant, and not just First Release users.
Could you send me a private message with your tenant details so we can investigate?

Thanks for your response @Kerem Yuceturk. What's the plan on dealing with Global companies that have employee's in Germany and China since we can't turn the license off?
Thanks,
Tami

Hi ,
I would like to know if we set the list /library experience to classic in the list or library settings would I still be able to see the Flow and PowerApps button in the SharePoint list/library despite of the preview feature being enforced now ? Could you please confirm .

Hi @Tami Shaw, the data sovereignty guarantees only apply to tenants who are housed in those sovereign environments. When you have a tenant that's not in one of the sovereign environments, your users, including those in China or Germany, will use the same data centers that the rest of your users will use, depending on the country picked while creating your Office 365 tenancy. This is true for any Office 365 workload like Exchange and SharePoint, as well as for PowerApps and Flow. So this should not be a new concern for you.

Hi @Trevor Seward, Office 365 administrators can go to Flow and PowerApps admin centers, and can set data policies for the default environment, without requiring a P2 license. You do not need any additional licenses.
You could get P2 licenses to be able to create and manage additional environments, and set policies in those additional environments.

Hi @VigneshGanesan, @Craig White is correct, these buttons are only available in modern lists and libraries.
Nov 17 2017 12:34 PM
Hi @Kerem Yuceturk - it is a new concern because we're able to manage everything by permissions or by licensing.
Nov 17 2017 12:41 PM
I see, but today your mailboxes, documents, and other data still resides in US, if you have a US based tenant, regardless of permissions or licenses. Is that not correct?
For PowerApps and Flow, it will be the same, the flows and apps you create will reside in the US data centers, similar to the case for your documents.
Maybe I am not fully aware of your configuration, I'd be happy to discuss the details over private messages if you'd like.

Hi @Rob Bowman, I hear your concerns. I will reach out to you, and understand the circumstances for your company better, and see what options are possible and hope to get to a point where the solution is manageable for you as well as us.

Not at all @Craig White, we would like to understand the specific circumstances of our customers so we can provide a general solution. I'd be happy to reach out to any of you to listen how this might be a problem for your business and what a solution might look like. Please send me a private message if you are interested.

Hello @Kerem Yuceturk. I still do not see this option in our SP, but our First Release setting are only assigned to me. Does it have to be the entire tenant before we'll see it? If so, if I leave on just me, when will the feature be forced into our tenant?
I'm interested in trying it out.
Thanks,
