Microsoft Fabric now supports Fabric Actions and Business Actions in pipelines, allowing users to trigger Fabric REST API operations and third-party business applications directly within workflows. This reduces the need for custom API integration code.
IQ Share allows organizations to share Fabric data items and context across different Fabric tenants without creating data copies. Producers retain control over access while recipients work within their own workspaces.
OneLake now offers a remotely hosted MCP server in preview, allowing AI agents to manage data and shortcuts without a local server installation.
Copilot in Microsoft Fabric can now generate Real-Time Dashboards from natural-language descriptions. It uses database context from an Eventhouse to create initial dashboard layouts.
Sail, a Rust-native distributed compute framework, and LakeSail Cloud now connect to Microsoft OneLake. This integration allows teams to run Spark and Python workloads on Fabric using Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg formats without data copies or extra connectors.
Microsoft Fabric updated scalar user-defined functions (UDFs) in the Data Warehouse, adding support for procedural logic like loops and conditional branches. These functions can now be inlined for better performance across analytical workloads.
New design and KPI features for Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Dashboards are now generally available. These include Design Tiles for layout structure, multi-KPI grouping, and enhanced KPI styling to improve dashboard readability and reduce authoring effort.
Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse now integrates with workspace monitoring, allowing administrators to track query activity, performance, and failures across an entire workspace from a single location.
Users can now use natural language to create custom HTML-based visualizations and KQL queries directly within Real-Time Dashboards using Copilot.
The Fabric Notebook Toolkit connects coding agents to Fabric notebooks via CLI, allowing agents to inspect code, execute cells, and validate changes interactively.
Fabric Eventstreams now includes generally available managed connectors for SAP Datasphere, Cribl, Solace PubSub+, and MQTT. These updates allow users to connect to more streaming sources, enrich events with contextual data, and monitor processing health directly within Fabric.
Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse now supports calling custom Python logic via Fabric User Data Functions directly from T-SQL queries, enabling tasks like API calls, file parsing, and secret retrieval.
Microsoft Fabric introduced Fabric Policies in preview, giving administrators granular governance controls across workspaces and capacities. Organizations can define central or capacity-scoped rules for item creation and security settings.
Microsoft Fabric released workspace-level private link support for SQL databases in preview, enabling secure database connectivity at the workspace boundary.
Microsoft Fabric introduced Fabric App functions in preview. The TypeScript-based serverless functions allow developers to execute custom server-side business logic, access protected data, and manage secrets securely within Fabric Apps.
Microsoft Fabric released enhancements to the Capacity Metrics app in preview, featuring an updated interface, new health and compute visuals, and metrics such as percentage of time spent in throttling across capacities.
Starting October 15, 2026, Search in Microsoft Fabric will return tables from semantic models, lakehouses, and mirrored databases as individual results. Users can search by table name or description, or find a table by an exact column-name match. More ob
Microsoft announced updates to Fabric Analytics, including the general availability of Fabric IQ inside Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork and Copilot Chat.
Microsoft announced new database innovations, including database agents for AI-powered operations, updates to Database Hub, and new SQL capabilities.
Microsoft released version 3000.334 of the on-premises data gateway for Microsoft Fabric. The update adds Soft Delete to retain deleted gateways for 30 days, Power BI Desktop compatibility updates, and manageability and security improvements.
Mirroring for Google BigQuery in Microsoft Fabric is now generally available. For organizations running critical workloads on BigQuery, this means a simpler, faster, and lower-cost path to bringing your data into the rest of your analytics estate , with production support, an enterprise SLA, and no pipelines to build or maintain.
If your Fabric workspace connects to an ODBC driver, and you haven’t already moved to the ADBC driver, you’re on the ODBC → ADBC migration path. The migration window is already open , the sooner you start, the more room you have to validate.
When a warehouse slows down, the investigation usually starts with more questions than answers. Was there a capacity spike? Did a specific query suddenly become expensive? Are requests failing, being canceled, or simply taking longer than usual?
With two new REST operations, you can retrieve the upstream and downstream relations of any Fabric item directly from your own code , the dependency graph behind the portal's lineage view, now available as a supported, programmable surface.
In late September, OneLake Catalog will begin surfacing tables as searchable objects in Microsoft Fabric. This change expands which table metadata users can discover based on their existing item permissions, so administrators may want to review the related tenant setting before rollout.
The Microsoft Fabric SQL Query Editor is the home for web-based SQL development in Fabric. It gives developers a workspace to explore warehouse data, write and run SQL, among many more capabilities. That work rarely starts and ends with a single query.
Capacity Operation Events in Real-Time Hub is now available as a preview, giving Microsoft Fabric capacity administrators access to detailed, operation-level telemetry in near real time.
Organizations can now bring governed business data from Microsoft Fabric into Copilot Studio agents, enabling agents to answer questions, generate insights, and support business processes using trusted enterprise data. Fabric data agents make it easier to ground experiences in the data your organization already relies on.
As organizations strengthen their security posture and adopt network security controls across their data platforms, visibility becomes just as important as enforcement.
Starting August 23, 2026, Microsoft Fabric will enable Item Recovery by default for tenants that have not explicitly configured the setting. Supported item types will have a 3-day recovery window by default. Admins can review or change this setting in the
This capability shares telemetry from Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspaces into Microsoft Fabric, making observability data available in OneLake as Delta Parquet, the open format, without duplication and with near real-time availability. All Azure Monit
