Category: Reference
Reference articles will contain information about specific functions and concepts for Microsoft Power Automation, PowerApps, and SharePoint.

Articles will come out every Friday always 7 pm Lisbon Time. Since I have three platforms to explore, you can expect Power Automation, SharePoint, and PowerApps articles every three weeks. Time permitting I’ll increase the frequency, but I think this is a right balance so that I can keep on delivering valuable information in a defined schedule.
