#Solutions

In Power Platform, apps, flows, or other resources can be marked as solutions for management purposes. To check the solutions on their dependencies, update the solutions settings, or export your solutions into a report, go to Power Platform > Solutions in EnPower and refer to the following sections for the management details.

#View Solution Details

To view the details of a solution, click the solution display name and you will be navigated to the Solution details page. Information is displayed in the following tabs:

• Basics – Basic information is displayed in this tab. Including but not limited to the created time, version, package type, and publisher of the solution.

• Component – All components including Apps, cloud flows, desktop flows, and other components in the solution are listed. Click the component type in the left pane and check the details in the right pane. To go to the details page of an object, click the object display name.

#Manage Solution Settings

To manage the settings of a solution, follow the steps below:

1. Select an unmanaged solution and click Management > Settings on the ribbon. If a managed solution is selected, you will not be able to update the settings but only check the setting details.

   NOTE

   The default solutions’ settings cannot be updated.

2. In the Solution settings panel, update the fields to complete your management.

3. Click Save.

#Check Solution Dependencies

To check the dependencies of a solution, follow the steps below:

1. Select a solution and click Management > Show dependencies on the ribbon.

2. On the Dependencies page, all objects requiring the solution are listed in the table.

#Promote Solution

Promoting a solution lets you move completed Power Platform work from one environment to another with confidence, so teams can test or use it without rebuilding anything manually. EnPower guides you through the process by checking readiness, carrying over required components, and helping you reconnect dependencies in the target environment so the solution can run smoothly after promotion.

Before the promotion, make sure the following prerequisites have been completed:

• The user who consented to the tenant's app profile must have the System Administrator role assigned in both the source and target environments.

• The user who consented to the tenant's app profile must be the creator of the connections of the solution in the target environment.

• The connections required by the solution to promote exist in the target environment.

To promote a solution to another environment, complete the following steps:

1. Select a solution and click Management. Then, select Promote from the drop-down list.

2. On the Promote page, the basic information of the solution is displayed.

   If the solution has any unpublished changes, you can click Publish all customizations to publish the changes.

   Then, click Next.

3. If the solution to promote has missing unmanaged components, the components will be listed in the table. The missing components are all selected by default. You can modify the selection based on your needs.

   Upon the selection is completed, click Add to solution to add the missing components to the solution. After all required components are added, you will be automatically redirected to the next step.

   Or you can click Skip this step in the lower-right corner of the page to ignore the missing components. However, the solution may not function as intended without certain components.

4. In the environment selection step, select the target environment to promote the solution to. The following configurations will be loaded:

   • New version number - Select the version number for the solution in the target environment.

   • Promote as - Select whether the solution in the target environment will be Managed or Unmanaged.

     • Managed - This is recommended if the solution is being promoted to a test or production environment. A managed solution can't be changed unless it has customizable objects.

     • Unmanaged - This is recommended if the solution is being promoted to another development environment.

   • Advanced settings - Select whether to Enable Plugin steps and flows included in the solution in the target environment.

   Click Next to proceed.

5. To activate your solution in the target environment, the connections related to the solution need to be re-established.

   In the Destination connection column, select the connection to use in the target environment. If there is no available connection loaded in the drop-down list, you need to manually create new ones in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

6. Click Start. The promotion process will start.
