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.
Accelerate JSON workloads with the Native Execution Engine in Microsoft Fabric
JSON is one of the most common formats in modern data platforms. It carries application events, API payloads, operational telemetry, configuration data, and the metadata that coordinates data-driven processes. For many organizations, JSON is not an edge case. It is part of the critical path from ingestion through transformation and analytics.
Workspace Outbound Access Protection (OAP) for Operations Agent and Fabric Maps (Preview)
Co-authors: Andre Terceros and Bodhisatva Gautam Workspace Outbound Access Protection (OAP) in Microsoft Fabric helps WS admins secure outbound connections from workspace items to external resources.

Manage Fabric connections at scale with connection recency in Fabric REST APIs
Understand Connection Recency Connections are shared infrastructure in Microsoft Fabric. Pipelines, dataflows, semantic models, and other Fabric items use them to reach data sources without storing connection details and credentials in every item.

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?
Fabric Data Agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio (Generally Available)
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.
