Power Platform Tools

Did you know that there are 218 tools (approved and available) so far in XrmToolBox, and counting...? Did you know that there are other tools for Power Platform administration/customisation/development outside of XrmToolBox? Do you know what each and every tool is capable of based on their title and description? – Well, I don't and that's why I thought of checking out each and every tool (that I know).

Every now and then, I stumble upon a new tool from either my colleague, podcast or social media. Most of the times, I wish that I knew about that tool sooner rather than later as it would have saved me a lot of effort from having to do some work manually or repeatedly. Because of that, I decided to try out and document the tools and share my learning with the community (so you save some time too!).

"If you are not working with XrmToolBox, you are just working too hard." – Jonas Rapp, 2016

Are you a tool author and can't find your tool icon? Feel free to reach out to me via social media channels or comment below 👇
