It’s one of the biggest Power Pages updates we’ve seen in years, and we’re excited about what it means for the future.
We talk about the newest Power Platform release and its biggest change — bringing Power Pages security together with Dataverse roles. We explain how web roles and contact records now work with system users, making Power Pages security act more like Dataverse.
We share what ...
In this episode, we take a close look at the history of security issues in Power Pages. We start with the early days — when simple misconfigurations like unchecked table permissions and enabled OData feeds led to major data exposures. These weren’t bugs, but they showed how easy it was to set things up the wrong way. We talk about how Microsoft responded and what lessons we’ve learned about secure defaults and clear d...
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...
In this episode, we deliver on their promise from the previous show — a wishlist of features they’d love to see in Power Pages (and none of them are AI). It’s a mix of practical frustrations from real-world projects and some wild ideas for future innovation. What did we talk about?
- George’s standing desk automation project — powered by Python, Bluetooth, and (eventually) Power Platform. Imagine you...
In the first episode of 2025, Nick and George break down Release Wave 1 2025 for Power Pages, separating real improvements from underwhelming updates. AI features take center stage, but do they actually add value? Discussion covers AI-assisted forms, web agents, and natural language queries, questioning their usefulness in real-world applications.
Modern li...
In this somewhat warm episode, George and Nicholas explore web templates in Power Pages, breaking down how they work, their history from ADX Studio to modern-day template blocks, the regrets along the way, and practical ways to use them effectively. They discuss features like include and extend, share tips for simplifying your development process, and highlight why templates are a powerful tool for creatin...
In this [delayed] episode of Refresh the Cache, George and Nick dive into the latest Wave 2 2024 release notes for Power Pages. They discuss the evolving landscape of agile development, where new features roll out continuously, and release notes serve as checkpoints rather than game-changers. The conversation touches on deprecations, governance updates, an...

What you hear in the opening is a sound clip titled "money count bills". Not sure about that, sounds more like soliders marching on gravel. Why did I pick that sound? Because it was available in the sound effect library I have already paid for. If I didn't have to pay for things, I would have definitely included Pink Floyd. Classic. Or Jerry McGuire saying "Show me the money". In this episode of Refresh th...
Everyone misplaces things from time to time. Keys, airpods, sunglasses, wallet; anger, confidence, sense of entitlement... JavaScript in Power Pages is no exception. I know there is script, I can see that annoying debugger keyword, I just have no idea where the fuck did it come from. In this episode of Refresh the Cache Nick and I discuss all the possible locations where script can be hidden in Power Pages while contemplating using...
Raising kids is not an easy task. Nor it is cheap. If you need to talk to your bank about refinancing your mortgage to renovate the house according to the building permit you are yet to apply for and, in case your house is old and potentially has some led paint or asbestos, you would also be trying to keep the kids out of that very house as much as possible by enrolling them in the after-school classes THEN you are in pure luck. Al...
In the good old days (insert an old man yelling at the skies image) we didn't have release waves. Instead, every 2-3 years we had a tsunami.
Since those days Microsoft has transformed releases into a pacifying surf ranch with persistent but not exactly heart stopping waves. Starting Wave 1, 2023 Power Pages now have a well-deserved their own break in the release plan. Of course, Nick and I couldn't resist dusting off our surf board...
In today's episode (technically, last year's) episode of Refresh the Cache, George and Nick talk to Dileep Singh, Principal Program Manager Lead for Power Pages. We discuss Gimli Glider, security, and growing with the product.

Long, long time ago, in the universe far away, Nick Doelman and Colin Vermander had a dream of making a podcast about ADX Portals, I mean Dynamics 365 Portals, I mean Power Apps portals, I mean Power Pages that would rival the entire Microsoft's media department. As often is the case, Microsoft decided to put an end to it by buying out hiring the entire population of Canada bot...
Daily logins are like daily gym visits: everyone says they do it every day, but reality begs to differ. Nick and George talk about new Power Pages licensing, monthly active users and more in episode 29 (or 2 in "After Nick Doelman" era).

One of the Nicks is back but Doelman variety decided to take a pill and has gone to greener pastures of the mothership. To fill in the void of his large shoes, George "The Enabler" Doubinski has joined the crew and broken all-Canadian camaraderie. Both Nick & George are rusty after a long break, so the only hot topic of the day is "Who moved my cheese and is it still cheese?" aka "Power Pages" and "I can do Power Apps portals - do ...
The Nick's are back after a brief break to bring you the news from the Power Platform 2022 release plans for Power Apps portals.
