Sounds cool 😎? Let’s see some new enhancements we added in this minor release

SharePoint Framework v1.22.2 support and integrated Heft Toolchain

In this release of SPFx Toolkit we’ve added support for the currently latest release of SharePoint Framework, which is v1.22.2, to actions that will allow you to validate and setup your local environment for SPFx development, and also to the project validate and upgrade action which will allow you to upgrade your SPFx projects to the any version of the framework, now including 1.22.2.

The aim is to continue to add support for the latest SPFx releases as soon as they are released, so that SPFx Toolkit may be your go-to tool for managing your SPFx projects, no matter which version of the framework you are using.

More AI capabilities to manage your SharePoint Online tenant - Copy SharePoint Online page Language Model Tool

In this release, we have added a new Language Model tool to the SPFx Toolkit arsenal of AI capabilities, which allows you to copy SharePoint Online pages. You can use this tool to copy pages from one site to another, or even within the same site. The tool will copy the page structure, web parts, and content, making it easy for you to create new pages based on existing ones.

👍 Power of the community

This extension would not have been possible if it hadn’t been for the awesome work done by the Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community. Each sample gallery: SPFx web parts & extensions, and ACE samples & scenarios, is populated with the contributions made by the community. Many of the functionalities of the extension, like upgrading, validating, and deploying your SPFx project, would not have been possible if it weren’t for the CLI for Microsoft 365 tool. I would like to thank all of our awesome contributors sincerely! Creating this extension would not have been possible if it weren’t for the enormous work done by the community. You all rock 🤩.
