Governance takeaway
- Makers: Put apps, flows and other components into your own unmanaged solution, then export it before 15 December so the work remains available.
- Admins/CoE: Filter environments by Type = Developer and Managed = No, then identify active environments and plan managed conversion or migration.
- Leadership/Business: Provide a licensed managed environment or organizational sandbox before suspension to avoid unavailable apps, flows, sites and data.
