PowerApp forms get stuck on "Getting your data..."
Some, but not all of my SharePoint Forms that are built using PowerApps are getting stuck saying (Getting your data...". The strange thing is that sometimes the data will load then this will happen, or I can click out of the form and reopen it and then it will work. Anyone experiencing a similar issue?Introducing Knowledge Agent in SharePoint

Microsoft Ignite is where innovation meets impact, and this year, SharePoint is front and center leading the next wave of digital and agentic transformation. With over 1,800 tenants already embracing the Knowledge Agent public preview, we’re excited to share the journey with you as SharePoint continues to evolve as the knowledge platform for Copilot and agents. For this month’s Showcase, we’ll walk through the major announcements from Ignite. Be sure to check out the pre-Ignite post where you can see all the SharePoint and OneDrive sessions to add to your schedule. The Copilot + SharePoint advantage As organizations increasingly rely on AI to drive action and surface insights from their enterprise data, the depth and quality of those experiences depend on more than just access, they require true understanding. While many AI tools can retrieve SharePoint content, Copilot distinguishes itself by comprehensively reasoning over SharePoint content, including elements like metadata, intranet site pages, the full richness of Office files, and encrypted files with sensitivity labels. Copilot can reason over metadata in SharePoint Metadata is essentially data about data. In the context of SharePoint document libraries, it refers to structured information that describes or supplements a file. Populated metadata improves discoverability, supports workflows, and enables automation – especially useful for scenarios like product catalogs, marketing assets, contracts, legal documents, and more. Agents built in SharePoint can already reason over metadata, and now Microsoft 365 Copilot can too. Large language models are creative but not always consistent, so metadata provides the guardrails for accurate, repeatable answers. When grounded in SharePoint document libraries with populated metadata, Copilot delivers answers that are more accurate, precise, and reliable. Copilot uses metadata to provide accurate answers to questions that require precision and consistency. Understanding metadata in SharePoint is now rolling out in general availability for Microsoft 365 Copilot (starting at Ignite 2025) Copilot can reason over intranet content Organizations often store critical information about programs, policies, and projects on SharePoint pages. Copilot’s ability to reason over intranet pages unlocks this rich source of institutional knowledge, surfacing answers and context that would otherwise remain hidden. Understanding SharePoint page content is generally available for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Copilot can reason over the full richness of Office files Copilot speaks the language of Office files fluently, able to understand the full depth of your content. For example, when grounded in a PowerPoint file, Copilot can understand both the text and image content, helping to provide complete and accurate answers. Understanding embedded images in PowerPoint files is generally available for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Copilot can reason over encrypted files with sensitivity labels And, while some AI platforms can read encrypted files and others can respect sensitivity labels, other AI solutions lack the depth and security that Copilot provides. This means Copilot can deliver insights from the most sensitive and protected content in your organization, all while maintaining compliance and respecting access controls. Reading encrypted content while respecting sensitivity labels and DLP policies is generally available for Microsoft 365 Copilot. These 4 examples of advanced reasoning over metadata, intranets, Office files, and encrypted content are uniquely available from Copilot - ensuring responses reflect the full spectrum of your organizational knowledge. Knowledge Agent public preview updates Knowledge Agent, in Public Preview since September, delivers a new wave of AI-powered features in SharePoint designed to streamline content management and boost Copilot capabilities. These features blend curated organizational knowledge with advanced AI, transforming SharePoint into a dynamic, intelligent knowledge hub that gives your organization a competitive edge. We’ve seen over 1800 tenants sign up for public preview in the last 2 months – we truly appreciate and action on your feedback (see the 2 updates below!). Let’s hear from some customers on their Knowledge Agent experience so far: Customers leveraging the auto-fill metadata capabilities are already noticing the impact. Mars Inc., called auto-filled metadata a “total game-changer” for their corporate legal department. “I love to start with enterprise tooling whenever I can,” said Kelly Mickelson, head of legal operations and Chief of Staff at Mars. “This takes seconds to set up, and instantly, you can know what’s in the corpus of documents.” Mott MacDonald, a UK-based engineering firm, has also seen traction with Knowledge Agent features. “It’s opening up new possibilities for intelligent curation, process efficiency, and accelerating AI adoption across our organization,” Simon Denton, an IT Architect at the engineering firm, said. The team at Allegis Global Solutions, a global provider of workforce management, is also experimenting with the opportunities unlocked by Knowledge Agent. Cory Chea, Technical Product Manager, shared, “These features are seriously impressive.” Try Knowledge Agent in public preview with confidence Sharing below two important updates based on top asks and questions from the community: Site level opt-in now available: Enable Knowledge Agent on specific sites, validate scenarios, gather feedback, and build confidence before rolling out broadly. Previously it was only possible to opt-in for public preview at the tenant level. Learn more about opting into the public preview for Knowledge Agent. GA Licensing model: At general availability – still targeting early calendar year 2026 – Knowledge Agent will be fully included as part of the Microsoft 365 Copilot license. On-demand page and list creation Microsoft 365 Copilot is evolving as a content creation destination, and SharePoint content like pages and lists are now available to create directly from Copilot chat. SharePoint page agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot chat Currently these new skills are accessed by @ mention of the agent (e.g. “@SharePoint list agent create a list of my top selling products by geography based on the table in /[document]” or "@SharePoint page agent create a page on /[SharePoint site] summarizing Project X progress and milestones"). SharePoint list agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot chat Creating SharePoint pages and lists directly from Microsoft 365 Copilot is now available via the Frontier program. Agents in SharePoint access and admin updates Agents created in SharePoint are now available in Copilot chat and the Agent Store No-code, custom-built agents are transforming how organizations automate, manage, and scale business processes. One of the easiest ways to get started is right in SharePoint. Microsoft’s legal team is a great example: they use agents built in SharePoint to help 3,000 marketers quickly find legal and compliance answers. By comparing manual search times to agent-assisted responses, they found marketers worked 2.97x faster. See also how our public affairs team at Microsoft uses agents built in SharePoint to help drive critical content discovery. And now, it’s even easier to access these agents. Agents created in SharePoint can now open directly in Copilot Chat, so you can start using them instantly without leaving your workflow. You can also download them from the Agent Store in Microsoft 365 Copilot and the Teams app store, giving you multiple ways to bring automation and intelligence into everyday tasks. Streamlining agent management in Microsoft 365 admin center Managing agents at scale is becoming simpler and more transparent. We recently introduced a unified experience that gives organizations better visibility and control. Admins can now view all agents used inside Copilot chat, including those built in SharePoint, in a single pane of glass within the Microsoft 365 admin center, making it easier to track and manage. They also have the ability to block agents when necessary and access related information, such as agent sources, to make informed decisions quickly. Managing agents built in SharePoint from the Microsoft 365 admin center is generally available. Reporting is getting a major upgrade as well. Agent usage reporting in Microsoft 365 admin center will initially cover any agents used in Copilot chat, including agents built in SharePoint, proving a comprehensive view of how agents are being used across the organization. These reports will include billing and license-level insights, helping admins understand cost and adoption trends. And soon, this data will also surface in the Viva Insights Copilot Dashboard, bringing even more clarity to agent performance and impact. Agent usage reporting in Microsoft 365 admin center is generally available.
