We move towards spring 2026 with strong momentum across the SharePoint Framework and an increasing sense of excitement across the ecosystem. SPFx continues to be a foundational platform for building intelligent, secure, and scalable experiences across Microsoft 365, with adoption growing and feedback from customers and partners directly shaping our priorities. Following the December release of SPFx 1.22 and the January announcement of 1.22.2, our focus remains on stability, security, and predictable evolution, while also setting the stage for the next wave of innovation.

February is also a special moment for the SharePoint community as we approach a major milestone. On March 2nd, SharePoint turns 25 years old 🎉. For a quarter of a century, SharePoint has evolved alongside our customers, partners, and developers, driven by real world needs and a global community that continues to push the platform forward. SPFx plays a critical role in that story today, enabling modern extensibility, deep Microsoft 365 integration, and increasingly intelligent, AI‑assisted solutions built on trusted enterprise foundations.

That celebration continues immediately with the SharePoint 2026 Hackathon, running from March 2nd through March 16th. The hackathon is a powerful example of “sharing is caring” in action: a global moment where developers, customers, partners, and community members come together to experiment, learn, and showcase what’s possible with SharePoint, SPFx, and the broader Microsoft 365 platform. This year’s hackathon places a strong emphasis on innovation, AI‑powered scenarios, and real business impact, reinforcing SPFx as a key enabler for these experiences. This hackathon is also not just for developers – end-users, designers, architect, intranet owners can also join. There’s a submission category for everyone. See more details on the live streams, submission categories and more at https://aka.ms/SharePoint/hackathon.

Since launching this monthly blog series in September 2025, our commitment has been clear: transparent communication, a predictable cadence, and meaningful insight into where SPFx is heading. With the February update, we continue that promise by reinforcing our near‑term focus on quality and transparency, while also looking ahead to investments that improve developer productivity, sustainability, and alignment with the evolving Microsoft 365 platform.

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. Notice that we were planning to release an update in February to address known npm audit vulnerabilities, but as the situation changed drastically after the latest possible fork date, we are unfortunately forced to move these fixes forward to the 1.23 (end of March). It’s important to notice that these npm audit provided vulnerabilities are not impacting SPFx usage in runtime and they are not compromising SPFx usage in customer environments in Microsoft 365.

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

January/February 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. This feature started rolling to worldwide in early February and we are excited to hear your feedback on the direction.

• 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 – 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.

• Command set improvements for lists and libraries – grouping and potentially other improvements.
• General technical platform updates to address feedback from customers and partners
• Addressing any new npm audit vulnerability issues

Version 1.23.1 – April 2026

This release focuses on first version around open sourcing the templates and tooling to create SPFx solutions, enabling our ecosystem to optionally build their own templates. We had to unfortunately push some of these updates to April to ensure that we get the features on the right quality level, before they are available externally.

• A new open-sourced SPFx CLI for replacing the existing Yeoman generator as preview release – 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. This might be included in the 1.23 initial release as well.
• New and edit panel override in lists – support panel level override on the Microsoft Lists and SharePoint lists with SPFx.
• Addressing any new npm audit vulnerability issues

Version 1.24 – 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.
• Addressing any new npm audit vulnerability issues
• 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 during 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.
