SharePoint Framework (SPFx) roadmap update – July 2026

June brings one of the most significant updates to SharePoint Framework in recent years with the introduction of SharePoint Copilot Apps. Where May was about reaching general availability of SPFx 1.23 and setting our foundation, June is about pointing that foundation at what comes next, and the headline is a big one. We are thrilled to celebrate the announcement of the upcoming SharePoint Copilot Apps, a new chapter that brings AI-first, Copilot-connected experiences to the model millions of you already build on every day. Alongside that, we shipped SPFx 1.23.2, a focused quality release that strengthens the platform and gets us ready for the new and edit panel override capability.

This continues to be a community-driven journey. The momentum we saw through the spring, at events, in open source, and in the steady stream of feedback you share, is exactly what shapes the direction we’re announcing now. Whether you filed an issue, contributed a fix, joined a community call, or told us what you wished SPFx could do, your input is in this release and in the roadmap ahead.

Announcing SharePoint Copilot Apps 🎉

The biggest news this month is the announcement of SharePoint Copilot Apps, our vision for how developers will build intelligent, Copilot-connected experiences directly on the SharePoint platform. This is the natural evolution of everything we’ve been signaling over the past several updates around AI and Copilot, now taking concrete shape.

SharePoint Copilot Apps are designed to let you:

• Build solutions that are Copilot-ready by default, surfacing your data and actions to Microsoft 365 Copilot
• Reuse your existing SPFx skills, tooling, and investments to reach AI-powered scenarios faster
• Connect business data and user experiences into intelligent workflows across SharePoint, Teams, and Viva
• Extend the reach of your apps into the places where users already work, with Copilot as a first-class surface

Note: “SharePoint Copilot Apps” is the working name during public preview and may change before general availability.

We are looking forward to hearing your feedback as the preview becomes available. Early community input will help shape both the developer experience and the roadmap toward general availability.

Here’s a quick introduction video on the art of possible with the upcoming SharePoint Copilot Apps – My Day is an example scenario on what could be created.

We will be starting public preview of SharePoint Copilot Apps in July 2026 with target to ship the feature generally available later 2026. You can see more details on the upcoming preview from following assets:

SharePoint Framework 1.23.2 is now available

Building on the 1.23 general availability milestone, we’ve shipped SPFx 1.23.2. This is a deliberately focused release centered on quality, reliability, and getting the platform ready for the next set of extensibility capabilities.

Highlights of this release include:

• Issue fixing and platform quality, addressing a set of reported issues to keep solutions stable at enterprise scale
• Readiness for new and edit panel override, groundwork that prepares the platform for overriding the new and edit panels in lists and libraries, a capability we’re bringing online in an upcoming release
• Security and dependency hygiene, addressing npm audit vulnerability issues to keep your build pipelines clean

See details on the 1.23.2 release on the release notes:

• SharePoint Framework 1.23.2 release candidate release notes

While 1.23.2 focuses on quality and reliability, it also lays the groundwork for upcoming capabilities such as SharePoint Copilot Apps and list and library panel customization. It ensures that as we light up Copilot Apps and panel override, you’re building on a dependable base.

Looking ahead – AI, Copilot and upcoming investments 💡

With SharePoint Copilot Apps now announced, our investments are more clearly focused than ever on enabling AI-powered solutions and intelligent experiences across Microsoft 365. The early signals we shared in April and May are now becoming real direction.

Our roadmap investments remain focused on:

• Enabling developers to build Copilot-ready and AI-enhanced applications
• Simplifying how solutions integrate with Microsoft 365 data and services
• Providing more flexible and modern tooling to accelerate development
• Expanding real-world business scenarios through extensibility

We are evolving SPFx not only as a development model, but as a key foundation for building intelligent, enterprise-ready solutions for the AI era. SharePoint Copilot Apps is the clearest expression yet of that direction, and more details on how the pieces connect will follow as we move capabilities closer to public preview.

Thank you for your feedback – Spring 2026 survey 👋

Our Spring 2026 feedback survey closed in early June, and we want to thank everyone who took the time to respond. Your input directly informs the priorities you see in this update, including how we’re sequencing quality work with future releases and the direction behind SharePoint Copilot Apps.

Remember, feedback is always open. If something works well, tell us. If something doesn’t, tell us. If you have ideas on what should come next, we want to hear them.

Roadmap 📅

We are continuing to evolve towards a more predictable, quarterly-oriented release cycle, and we’ll keep the public roadmap updated as schedules and features firm up. Here is the current set of investments planned for upcoming SPFx releases:

Version 1.23.2 – June 2026 (shipped)

• Issue fixing and platform quality improvements
• Readiness for new and edit panel override support for lists and libraries (server side support coming in July)
• Addressing any new npm audit vulnerability issues

Version 1.24 Public Preview – July 2026

• SharePoint Copilot Apps public preview
• Addressing any new npm audit vulnerability issues

Version 1.24 General Availability – September 2026

• SharePoint Copilot Apps general availability
• SPFx CLI general availability (GA) – Includes updated open-source templates
• Navigation customizers, options to override navigation nodes and/or experiences with SPFx components
• Addressing any new npm audit vulnerability issues

Top of mind

These are features that are top of mind and which we want to address as soon as possible.

• React 18 support for SPFx solutions. Work continues on updating the out-of-the-box web parts to the React 18 level. We can enable it broadly only once that work is complete; until then it applies to custom web parts. Based on current progress internally, we should be getting this support by the General Availability of SharePoint Framework 1.24.

We encourage you to keep sharing feedback to support our planning for the upcoming semesters. We already have an extensive list of ideas and enhancements in mind, and we’re always interested in your input.

What’s next?

We continue expanding the SharePoint platform to unlock more innovation across Microsoft 365:

• SharePoint Framework (SPFx) for building rich, AI-powered, and business-integrated solutions with custom user interfaces directly in Microsoft 365, now including SharePoint Copilot Apps.
• SharePoint Embedded to bring SharePoint content into your own apps hosted outside of Microsoft 365 with your own user interface.
• Agents and AI to create intelligent, adaptive experiences that access your content and business information efficiently and expose them easily to your end users.

We encourage you to explore these capabilities and see how they can help you build the next generation of solutions for your organization and customers.

If you’re planning to build experiences for Copilot, Microsoft 365 & Power Platform, we strongly recommend joining our community calls and the broader Microsoft 365 and Power Platform Community activities, covering Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Platform, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Viva, and more. You can find call details and community assets at https://aka.ms/community/home.

You might also be interested in our SharePoint partner showcase series, where we highlight solutions built with SharePoint. Each episode includes a video and a blog post with additional details. If you’re building something with SharePoint and would like to be featured, let us know through the sign-up form and we’ll contact you to schedule a recording.
