🆕 Cancel a running update
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynami...
Cancel a running update Running updates are canceled automatically if the update doesn't succeed before the end of the update window set for the environment. If you need to cancel an update before the end of the update window or an update that can run outside the environment's update window, you can do so manually. To cancel a running update, navigate to the Operation Details pane from the Environment Details or Operations page and select the Cancel update button next to the operation status. Canceling a running update stops the update process and restores the environment to its state immediately before the update started. Depending on the size of the environment database, this process might take more than an hour, during which the environment isn't accessible. Note Updates can't be canceled on environments that are in the Enforced Update Period for the source version of the environment update

🆕 Many countries/regions were added!
Full list: github.com/MicrosoftDoc...
Some are planned for December 2025, others need your action (see image).
5 The country/region is enabled in AppSource and the CSP pricelist, but before deployment you must submit a request to the Microsoft localization team. Deployment will be available in the next minor version after your request is processed.

Good you're blogging about it!
It would be even better to mention that you can recommend extensions also in multi-root workspaces (learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynami...) by adding to the *.code-workspace file as follows:

Number of environments
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynami...
Administrators can limit users' access to any particular environment by changing their permissions, or by removing users' access within that environment. Partners using the Partner Sandbox license on their partner tenants can purchase extra sandbox environments by increasing the number of Partner Sandbox user licenses on their tenant. Like regular Business Central licenses, the first five Partner Sandbox licenses grant one production environment and three sandbox environments on the tenant. Each extra five Partner Sandbox licenses automatically grant three more sandbox environments on the tenant.

Getting an access token with Authorization Code Flow
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynami...

🆕 Important:
Microsoft doesn't recommend using the username and password flow because it will be asking a user for their password directly, which is an insecure pattern. Microsoft Entra ID and Windows authentication are more secure alternatives. You should only use username and password authentication when Microsoft Entra ID and Windows authentication aren't viable.
