2) Dynamics 365 Data Export Service Deprecation – Data Export Replacement Add-on
By KingswaySoft Inc
Back in November 2021, Microsoft announced it would be deprecating the Data Export Service (DES).

By JouneyTEAM
Created by Jason Lattimer and Guido Preite, the Dataverse REST Builder allows users to interact directly with the Dynamics Web API.

7) Hide/Show System Views in Dynamics 365
By Beringer Technology Group
Dynamics 365 is known for its plethora of components and subcomponents, including entities, forms, views, charts, fields, and much more. Many of these components have had their administration functionality altered, or have had their names changed altogether (e.g., “entities” are now “tables”; “fields” are now “columns”), with the introduction of the Power Platform. Views are no exception to this, and in the case of administration functionality, system administrators and customizers have the ability to control a view’s visibility to end-users without disabling it. Before Power Apps, the only way to remove a system view from visibility in the classic Dynamics 365 experience was to disable it completely in the environment.
8) How to Set Up an Integration with Dynamics 365 Using OAuth
By KingswaySoft Inc
For years, Online Federation (WS-Trust) was the standard authentication method to gain access to Microsoft Dynamics 365, CRM, CDS, CE, and Dataverse. With rising security concerns, and with a more modern and safer alternative found in OAuth, Microsoft deprecated Online Federation, setting a timeline for phasing it out. As of this year, the transition is complete and WS-Trust connections no longer exist.

10) Be prepared for ARC and SLA deprecation
By Beringer Technology Group
As previously announced, Microsoft has deprecated the ARC (automatic record creation) rules and SLA (service-level agreements) items in the Dynamics 365 Customer Service web client. The intention is for these components to be migrated to and accessed from the Unified Interface. Currently, Microsoft has set the end-of-life date for these features in the web client to be October 1, 2022. Action must be taken before that date to ensure no loss of functionality.
