Introduction to Engaging User Experiences in the Power Platform
Many solutions built in the Power Platform begin from a technical need and may be created by someone who is unfamiliar with user experience better practices. These solutions sometimes become enterprise-wide, due to their usefulness, without the critical focus on user experience upfront.
A focus on the user experience (UX) will help your solutions be more successful by keeping the end user front of mind. A focus on UX will increase usability as you support the end users' top tasks, lower costs and decrease your development time as you identify problems and resolve issues earlier in the build process.
In this session, we will discuss and demonstrate:
• What makes a good user experience
• How to focus on the end user when developing solutions
• Top UX heuristics to support an intuitive, consistent, and inclusive user experience
• Implementing usability principles and better practices in the Power Platform
Walk away with an understanding of the importance of user experience in designing and developing PowerApps, Power BI dashboards, and Flows in Power Automate to help your solutions shine.

What You Need To Know About Managing External Collaboration in Office 365
Office 365 can solve a long-standing problem—how to securely share information and content with partners, customers and guests outside your organization with maximum productivity and minimum risk. But the mere mention of “guest access” and external sharing has many legal, compliance and IT teams reaching for the “off” switch and leaving it there. Microsoft has provided an easy and intuitive way to initiate external sharing in Teams, Groups and Sites, but the management of external sharing and the risk it can introduce are not so easily understood or implemented. There are tenant level controls, AAD level controls, and application level controls that need to be orchestrated to ensure the right blend of access and control. In this session we will review the layers of management controls—and the roles that should be managing them—to help you formalize your guest access strategy for Office 365.

Power-Up Your Document Libraries with Power Apps & Power Automate
Back in the days of Classic SharePoint, requiring meta-data was an easy process: 1) upload file, 2) fill out form with metadata, 3) click button to check the file in. With the advent of modern libraries, the popup form disappeared, and the file could sit there not checked-in, or checked-in without the metadata filled in. With 12 different libraries in our home site, each with its own metadata schemas, I spent a lot of time cleaning up incorrect metadata. I needed to find a way for our staff to upload their files to the repository easily without my involvement and create a way for our staff to find the files they need in the libraries. After much research and borrowing techniques from around the Power Platform community, I finally got my solution to work.
This session will walk you through the steps to create an app that meets the following requirements:
1) file uploaded to the correct library,
2) file named according to a naming protocol,
3) title of document filled in and meaningful,
4) all required metadata filled in correctly,
5) file checked in.

Utilizing a Governance Site vs a Document
As long as we can remember when governance is mentioned its always been in a form of a document. Which was great when creating and compiling all the information. However, maintaining the information is where a managing governance via a document falls short. Utilizing a site represents the true nature of a living, breathing function that changes on a regular basis. It also provides the ability to grow your governance organically and allows users unknowingly participate in governance which allows your governance team to grow in size.
