Build SharePoint automations with Workflows—now aligned with the Teams experience

SharePoint introduces a new Workflows experience aligned with Teams, powered by Power Automate, for streamlined automation in lists, libraries, and chats. It features a unified menu, natural language editing, and templates. Rollout begins mid-September 2025, requiring no admin action and preserving existing workflows and compliance. We’re introducing a new way to build automations in SharePoint using Workflows—the same fast, intuitive experience available in the Teams Workflows app. This update simplifies automation across SharePoint, Teams, and Microsoft 365, helping users streamline tasks like notifications, approvals, and file actions with just a few clicks. Powered by Power Automate, Workflows offers a consistent experience across platforms and reduces the complexity of previous automation methods. This message is associated with Roadmap ID 491632 and MC1121517. When this will happen Targeted Release: Begins mid-September 2025; expected completion by end of September 2025. General Availability: Begins mid-October 2025; expected completion by mid-November 2025.
