Beginning January 27, 2025, pipelines in Power Platform will no longer automatically overwrite customizations.

This improvement in upgrade speed was not previously possible with the overwrite system.

Direct effects for Operations**

Upgrade Process Changes
The new pipeline system may lead to confusion among users regarding the status of their customizations, as they will not be automatically overwritten during upgrades. This could result in users believing their changes are lost when they are not.

Increased Upgrade Efficiency
With the new delta processing for solution upgrades, organizations can expect a 50% increase in upgrade speeds. This means less downtime for applications and services, leading to a more efficient work environment for users.
   - next-steps: Assess current upgrade schedules and workflows to incorporate the new pipeline process. Monitor upgrade times post-implementation to measure efficiency gains.
   - roles: Project Managers, IT Operations, End Users

Reduced Risk of Upgrade Failures
By not automatically overwriting customizations, the new pipeline system minimizes the risk of upgrade failures due to conflicts between new solutions and existing customizations. This enhances the reliability of IT services.
   - next-steps: Establish a testing protocol for upgrades that includes verification of existing customizations. Create a rollback plan in case of issues during the upgrade process.
