Power Pages design studio
To get started with Power Pages design studio, sign in to Power Pages Home, select a site, and then select Edit. Select Create a site to provision a new site if necessary.
The design studio is organized into workspaces that help makers focus on specific tasks.
Design and build web pages in the Pages workspace. Organize site navigation and add content in a low-code environment.
Create a modern look and feel. Apply corporate branding and manage global site styles in the Styling workspace.
Model, visualize, and manage business data in the Data workspace.
Configure site settings, prepare for go-live, manage progressive web app (PWA) settings, and access the admin center in the Set up workspace.
Monitor, protect, and manage site security in the Security workspace — configure web roles, page and table permissions, Web Application Firewall, identity providers, and site visibility.
For advanced configurations that aren't available in the Power Pages design studio, the Portal Management app is accessible by selecting the ellipsis icon (...) at the bottom of the left-hand workspace navigation.
Ask Copilot questions
While working in the design studio, you can use the Copilot sidecar to ask questions about building your Power Pages site. This is a quick way to get guidance without leaving the studio. This feature is generally available in all regions except DoD.
To ask Copilot a question:
Go to the Pages workspace.
In the Copilot sidecar, select Ask.
If the Copilot pane isn't visible, select the Copilot button in the command bar. If the Ask option doesn't appear, your administrator might need to allow Bing search.
Choose from the starter prompts displayed, or type your own question in the text box.
Press Enter or select the send icon to submit your question.
Note
The Ask feature requires Bing search to be enabled. You're prompted to enable it the first time you use the feature, or you can select the gear icon in the Copilot sidecar to turn it on.
Copilot governance
Administrators can control which generative AI features are available to site users across the tenant. This includes features like site search with generative AI, AI-powered list summaries, and AI form fill assistance. Makers can enable these features on their sites, but admin governance settings can override those configurations.
For more information, see Control use of Generative AI features for users.
