Business value

Enable system availability as soon as core Microsoft Dataverse storage services are available. Make the search and Copilot customer managed key processes continue to run while the system is up. This approach reduces system downtime and enhances the user experience.

Feature details

Reduce system downtime by running the long-running search process and Copilot index process at the same time while the system runs. The system uses the new encryption status Encrypting - online. With this status, users can access the system while the search process and the Copilot index process finish without affecting the user or system experience.

Admins can monitor the progress for applying customer managed key encryption in the Power Platform admin center. When the encryption status changes from Encrypting to Encrypting - online, admins can tell users the system is available.
