Deprecated Web client settings update

We announced in previous releases that some environment settings will soon be deprecated for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform online services. These features will be officially removed from the user interface by the end of May 2021.

How does this affect me?

Once the below features are removed, they will not be available in Advanced settings in the Web client or in the Environment settings in the Power Platform admin center.

Please note: Some deprecated features have a replacement available for use. Please ensure that your environments are leveraging these replacement features prior to May 2021.
