Add Dataverse knowledge to a Custom Copilot using Copilot Studio
Not too long ago we saw a complete user interface refresh in Copilot Studio, and a lot of new features that were announced during Microsoft’s Build event.

Smart Email Validation for Dataverse(preview)
You might remember that I wrote an article about the email validation feature which went into public preview back in October of 2022. (Yes it is still in preview today!). This feature allowed us to validate email addresses for leads (and now also contacts) in Dynamics 365 Sales.

Simplified Dataverse search configuration
I am not sure if you heard yet that Relevance Search has been renamed to Dataverse Search?
