I Wish I Would Have Known #21: Add new Area to Sitemap in Modern Model-Driven App Designer.

The new modern model-driven app designer has an easy to use interface, and in sync with canvas app designer. However, the preview has the following known limitations.

You can’t add the following model-driven app components:
- URLs
- Business process flows
- Charts
You can’t add more than one area to the app’s navigation site map.
You can’t change the app’s icon.
You can’t specify the app’s URL.

You can use the Switch to classic option to use the classic designer to complete the above app design tasks.

I Wish I Would Have Known #11: Unable to add Licensed Users to Power Platform Environments.

Dynamics 365 Enterprise licenses does not include general purpose Power Apps capabilities. Dynamics 365 Enterprise users will continue to be able to run apps and portals that extend and customize the licensed Dynamics 365 application, as long as those apps and portals are located in the same environment as their licensed Dynamics 365 application. Custom apps or portals outside of the Dynamics 365 environment will require a standalone Power Apps license. In short, If a user A has only dynamics 365 license applied, then A can be added only to environments which has at least one Dynamics 365 App installed. Read more here.
