We are humbled to see the incredible momentum of SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and the growth it is driving with our customers and partners. There are tens of millions of users using custom SPFx solutions each day worldwide in Microsoft 365. Your innovation and feedback continue to shape its success, and we are excited and committed to keep partnering with you on this journey. We are starting a new blog post series which will be a first step on the future evolution of SharePoint Framework.

We see customers building powerful solutions like personalized AI powered employee portals and dashboards that seamlessly bring together SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Viva Connections – all powered by SPFx. These scenarios highlight how extensibility through SPFx accelerates innovation, helps organizations meet unique business needs, and creates richer employee experiences on a scale.

SPFx is a core part of the Microsoft 365 platform extensibility strategy, and we are committed to making sure our updates reflect that. We are adjusting our communication patterns and launching a monthly roadmap update to ensure that you have more transparency and predictability on upcoming releases.

This is not just about planning; it is about showing how SPFx is evolving to meet the demands of the Era of AI. SPFx has a huge role to play in enabling intelligent, adaptive experiences across Microsoft 365, and we want to make sure you can confidently plan, innovate, and grow with it. To that end, we are:

• Focusing on our customer and partner feedback and input – We have already introduced a new in-product feedback feature, which is visible on the online workbench for your input. Soon you will also see the feedback option available when you perform live debugging on the pages.
• Being more transparent on our SPFx roadmap with monthly updates on the latest features and capabilities
• Forming a community advisory committee that includes respected customer and partner representatives to provide input and help us ensure transparency in decision-making.

Roadmap

We are evolving towards a quarterly release cycle, providing more predictability on new features introduction and updates. Here is the set of investments which we are planning to ship within the upcoming SPFx releases:

Version 1.22 – October 2025

• Addressing npm audit reported security issues on the dependency tree.
• Transitioning from Gulp to an open webpack based toolchain orchestrated by Heft.

Version 1.23 – February 2026

• Open-sourcing Yeoman generator 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 2026

• Navigation customizers – Options to override navigation nodes and/or experiences with SPFx components.
• Other features which will be shared in following blog posts.

We also continue further innovation in the AI space with focus on both customer features and developer tooling. More on this in future blog posts on this monthly series.

Please continue providing feedback to support our product planning for the upcoming semesters. We already have an extensive list of ideas and enhancements in our mind, across AI and traditional areas, but are always interested in your input.

Community Advisory Committee and Feedback Loop

To further strengthen our partnership with the community, we are introducing a new SPFx Community Advisory Committee, which is a group of non-Microsoft people who are actively involved in our product and release planning. We are excited about this new engagement model and will collaborate closely with the Community Committee members to have an active engagement with our product group to plan together next steps within our journey.

We will be using this new community advisory committee as our initial strategic review board for our future investments and community representatives for the future platform changes. Your feedback continues to matter here as well.

The initial set of SPFx Community Committee members are following Microsoft MVPs:

• Adam Wojcik
• Andrew Connell – Voitanos
• Anoop Tatti – Advania
• Beau Cameron
• Chris Kent – Takeda
• David Warner – Quisitive
• Derek Cash-Peterson – Sympraxis Consulting
• Don Kirkham – Encora
• Hugo Bernier – Takeda
• Julie Turner – Sympraxis Consulting
• Stefan Bauer – N8D

We are open to including additional SPFx Community Committee members and continue evolving this new engagement model in future.

Frequently Asked Questions

We will include this section in all upcoming SPFx roadmap blog posts to provide more clarity and transparency by addressing any frequently asked questions within the past month(s).

What is the status and future of SPFx powered field customizers in lists and libraries? We did update our plans to potentially deprecate field customizers in June 2025. Based on careful evaluation after feedback from the ecosystem, we have decided to not deprecate field customizers in lists and libraries.

Single part SPFx solutions were momentarily not available in the new page creation, are they going away? No. This was a regression, and it has been fixed. Single part SPFx solutions are widely used by customers and partners. We will continue supporting them normally also in future.

We have seen issues on using SharePoint Framework within the Microsoft Teams context – any work done to improve this experience? We are committed to providing an easy option to build Microsoft Teams experiences also with SharePoint Framework. We are aware of challenges in these areas and are actively working with our Microsoft Teams’ counterparts to address the known issues. Please continue informing us on any issues using the GitHub issue list – https://aka.ms/spfx/issues.

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 Copilot, Power Platform, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Viva, and more. See community call details and other assets from https://aka.ms/community/home.

We are also excited to share that we will be organizing the SharePoint Hackathon event also during 2026 where we previously saw an impressive set of examples of ecosystem innovation across intelligent portals powered by AI and SPFx.
