Assessment Reasoning
The retirement of the Proactive control rename feature is scheduled for December 2026, so it is still active. Admins need to communicate the change to makers, but no configuration or preparation is required. The feature removal affects Copilot rename suggestions only, so user impact is minor and indirect. Urgency is moderate as this is an informational future retirement rather than an immediate change.

📢 Official Microsoft Message Center Announcement
Power Apps – Information regarding the retirement for the Proactive control rename feature in canvas apps
Message ID: MC1532426
On December 11, 2026, the Proactive control rename feature for canvas apps in Power Apps will be no longer available.
How does this affect me?
After December 11, 2026, makers and tenant administrators will no longer have access to Copilot (AI-powered assistant) suggestions for renaming similar controls or applying multiple suggested renames in canvas apps. Existing app control names and formulas will remain unchanged. Once this feature is retired:
- Copilot (AI-powered assistant) will no longer suggest names for similar controls or offer to apply multiple suggested renames when a supported control is manually renamed.
- This change is enforced and cannot be opted out. Existing app control names and formulas will not be affected.
There is no action required by makers. Tenant administrators should inform makers about this retirement.
