Business value

By reporting the compatibility between the base application and other apps installed on an environment in the admin center, administrators can better prepare for changes and avoid potential problems during upgrades.

Feature details

Environment updates might include changes to functionality that installed apps depend on, which, in turn, can break those apps. Until 2024 release wave 2, only notification recipients and registered Application Insights resources received messages about incompatibilities of installed apps with a future Business Central update.

To make it easier to plan for these changes ahead of time and avoid upgrade failures, you can now view app compatibility reports directly in the admin center. You're prevented from scheduling an update to a version that installed apps are incompatible with.
