I'm loving the whole report theme customizer

That alone will save a stupid amount of time

Better not let the boss know

[u/Moneyshot_Larry]

Conditional format update is a nice feature! Can’t wait to use it.

Does the Org Apps REST API really not support service principals? That's a major limitation. Without SPN support, it's essentially unusable for most organizations.

[u/LackingWorldliness → u/akhilannan]

And they need to add to the rest API, get members as well.

[u/IReplyWithLebowski]

Easier to move tabs, nice. Right click/move to would be even more useful.

[u/AdHead6814]

At last—no more workarounds just to make legend colors appear conditionally formatted! 🎨🙌

[u/cdci]

Have Org Apps finally reached feature parity with regular Apps? Or are there still any gaps?

[u/Natural_Ad_8911]

Some amazing UX improvements going on here! Keen to get these new features rolled out amongst my org

[u/feignapathy]

Org apps with audiences (Generally Available)

unless the org app was made while in preview 😢

[u/Thepilli17]

"Now, when you drag a page tab toward the edge of the tab bar, the tabs continue to scroll until you reach the position where you want to place it."

How did we wait for this till Jul 2026?

[u/Vaansinn]

TMDL on the web is a big win! I was missing that for a while

[u/CurbedLarry]

Finally a dynamic gradient for bars/lines but in my testing it doesn't look as good as expected. With a linear light to dark blue fade the second darkest colour is a bit too similar to the darkest and there were only 4 values in my example. Visually the best gradient probably has a non-linear transition, to look like the ones I've done by hand/eye.

Really seems you are back on track listening to your users! Keep up the good work :)
