Hidden In Plain Site: Underused Features in Power Pages

Continuing from the wishlist, in this episode we focus on underused features in Power Pages - capabilities that are built into the platform but often overlooked during development.

We discuss features such as redirects, shortcuts, site markers, and web link sets, highlighting where they fit and why they’re still relevant, especially for structured navigation and content management. We also cover content snippets, explaining how they support multilingual content, reduce duplication, and allow non-developers to manage content without modifying code.

Additional topics:

• Leveraging form and list metadata instead of custom JavaScript

• Choosing fetchXML in liquid over Web API for secure, server-side queries

• The challenges and potential of conditional multistep forms

• The role of site settings in fine-tuning authentication and behavior

A lot of Power Pages features are often overlooked. Hopefully you get some extra ammunition to improve structure, usability, and long-term maintainability across projects.
