The first release of 2023 versions covers all the new features that will be launched to the market between April and September 2023. In today's article, we will provide general product information (you can download it from Trial versions) and the new and planned features for Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The first 2023 release wave also significantly improves support for managing numerous companies and presents enhancements in linked company features.
In this version, efficiency in tasks with record lists will be boosted and allows customizing columns, bulk actions, and full views.
Microsoft focuses primarily on developer and consultant productivity with Visual Studio Code AL Explorer. It also offers seamless collaboration via GitHub and self-service capabilities for administrators. More details coming soon in blogs.
