Release cadence
This table shows the general cadence for releases. It shows when the release is available for you to update manually for testing purposes, and when it plans to automatically update sandbox and production environments.
The What's new article for each month provides the expected availability and automatic update dates for that month. If you want to update an environment manually, you can refer to Manage Dynamics 365 apps in the Power Platform documentation.
Updates usually start around the first of the month and roll out to different countries and regions in stages. Some updates aren't available until later in the month. Sometimes, Microsoft delays updates for some regions to a future date.
