SharePoint Framework (SPFx) roadmap update – November 2025

Vesa Juvonen
Principal Program Manager

We continue to be humbled by the incredible momentum of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and the growth it enables for our customers and partners. Tens of millions of users across the world rely daily on custom SPFx solutions in Microsoft 365 – solutions built and innovated by you.

Since launching this monthly blog series in September 2025, our goal has been to increase transparency and provide ongoing visibility into the SharePoint Framework roadmap. With this November 2025 update, we are pleased to continue that commitment and share the latest view into our plans.

SPFx remains a foundational pillar of the Microsoft 365 extensibility platform, and we’re excited to see the strong engagement around our future investment areas. Your feedback continues to guide where we refine, expand, and prioritize. While the overall roadmap remains stable, we have made several small schedule refinements as we work toward delivering the SPFx 1.22 release with the quality and completeness it deserves. As always, we’ll keep the public SPFx roadmap page updated in parallel with each monthly post.

We have also continued to receive significant interest in the SharePoint Framework Community Advisory Committee introduced in the September update. We are actively shaping the long-term structure for participation and onboarding new members. We look forward to sharing more details on this early in 2026.

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

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.
  • New debugging toolbar improving the in-page development experience when workbench is not used.

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.

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.

Upcoming feature showcase – Npm Audit cleanup in 1.22

As part of the upcoming release v1.22, we have worked on cleaned up all known npm audit issues on the SharePoint Framework toolchain. We are also committed to closely following up and cleaning any new vulnerabilities which could come up from the npm dependency tree with updated minor releases as needed.

We are also aware of deprecated dependencies we have on the baseline SharePoint Framework installation package and are working on cleaning them as well.

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 2026 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.

    Thank you for the update, Vesa!
    Can you provide an update on the upgrade of React to version 18 (or newer)? It was announced that it was in the works, but it is not part of the roadmap anymore. At the moment, it is getting more and more difficult to work around the legacy React version, because many libraries require at least React 18 these days (and I suspect we will start seeing React 19 as the minimum dependency soon).
