As we close out 2025, we want to pause and reflect on what has been an extraordinary year for the SharePoint Framework (SPFx). We continue to be humbled by the momentum of the platform and the scale of impact it enables across Microsoft 365. Tens of millions of users around the world rely every day on SPFx-based solutions – solutions imagined, built, and refined by our incredible ecosystem of customers and partners.

Since launching this monthly blog series in September 2025, our goal has been to provide greater transparency, clearer communication, and a consistent view into the SPFx roadmap. With this December 2025 update, we’re taking the opportunity not only to share the latest roadmap perspective, but also to look back on the collective progress we’ve made throughout the year. From continued platform stability and performance improvements to deeper engagement with the community, 2025 has reinforced SPFx as a foundational pillar of Microsoft 365 extensibility.

None of this progress would be possible without your feedback. Throughout the year, your real-world input has directly shaped our investment decisions – guiding where we refine existing capabilities, expand extensibility scenarios, and prioritize future innovation. We’re deeply grateful to our customers and partners who have actively participated in conversations, previews, and early validations, helping ensure SPFx continues to meet the needs of modern Microsoft 365 solutions.

Looking ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for SPFx. While much of the roadmap remains intentionally steady, we are preparing several meaningful enhancements and new capabilities that we look forward to announcing and sharing more broadly in early 2026. These upcoming investments will continue to focus on developer productivity, long-term sustainability, and enabling richer, more integrated experiences across Microsoft 365. As always, we’ll keep the public SPFx roadmap updated alongside these monthly posts as plans continue to evolve.

Thank you for being such a vital part of the SPFx journey and for making 2025 a year of incredible collaboration and success 🙏

Roadmap

We are evolving towards a quarterly release cycle, providing more predictability on new feature introductions and updates. We will update the public roadmap with any schedule and feature updates as we move forward in this journey.

Here is the set of investments which we are planning to ship within the upcoming SPFx releases:

Version 1.22 – December 2025

This version will provide us with a new modernized baseline which does not have any npm audit issues and has a future proven toolchain to continue building experiences.

• General availability is planned on December 2nd 2025
• Addressing npm audit reported security issues on the dependency tree.
• Transitioning from Gulp to an open webpack based toolchain orchestrated by Heft.
• Update default TypeScript to v5.8

January 2026 – debugging toolbar in SharePoint Online

This will be a server side update without a requirement to provide a client-side updates as new SPFx version.

• New debugging toolbar improving the in-page development experience when workbench is not used. Debugging toolbar will eventually replace the workbench page to enable you easily debug in any page in SharePoint Online.

Version 1.23 – February/March 2026

This release focuses on open sourcing the templates and tooling to create SPFx solutions, enabling our ecosystem to optionally build their own templates. We also want to focus on providing additional value for optimizing developer experience and providing new extensibility options.

• Open-sourcing SPFx solution templates via GitHub and opening them for community contributions.
• A new open-sourced SPFx CLI for replacing the existing Yeoman generator – You will be able to introduce your company specific templates or adjustments on the scaffolded baseline for the SPFx solutions. We are decoupling the CLI itself from the SPFx release versions.
• Command set improvements for lists and libraries – grouping and potentially other improvements.
• New and edit panel override in lists – support panel level override on the Microsoft Lists and SharePoint lists with SPFx.

Version 1.24 – May/June 2026

This version continues providing new extensibility options aligned with the future direction of SharePoint. We are also expecting to have other new features and capabilities as part of this release, which will be disclosed a bit later.

• Navigation customizers – Options to override navigation nodes and/or experiences with SPFx components.
• Other features will be shared later.

We also continue further innovation in the AI space with a focus on both customer features and developer tooling. More on this in future roadmap updates early 2026.

We encourage you to continue providing feedback to support our product planning for the upcoming semesters. We already have an extensive list of ideas and enhancements in mind but are 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.
• 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 to access your content and business information efficiently and expose those easily for your end users.
• Microsoft Graph to access data and insights everywhere using our standard API surface.

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 are looking to build experiences for Microsoft 365, we strongly recommend joining our community calls and other Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community activities covering Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Platform, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Viva, and more. See community call details and other assets from https://aka.ms/community/home.

You might be also interested on our new SharePoint partner showcase series where we showcase different solutions build with SharePoint. Each episode has a video and blog post with further details. Are you building something with SharePoint and interested on doing a similar video with us? – Let us know by signing up with this form and we’ll get back to you for scheduling a recording.

We are also excited to share that we will be repeating the SharePoint Hackathon event during March 2026 (March 2-16) with updates submission categories, showcasing the different features and capabilities of SharePoint. We saw an impressive set of examples of ecosystem innovation across intelligent portals powered by AI and SPFx in 2025 and are looking forward on the community innovation with the new features and capabilities.
