Upcoming FREE Conference on Identity Management and Privileged Access Management
MC280012 -Updated August 26, 2021: Microsoft has updated this post for additional clarity. Thank you for your feedback.
Note: This only applies to Direct links in PowerApps/PowerAutomate. Using the Direct Link option in PowerApps/PowerAutomate does not provide the same experience as other services as the Direct links created expire after a short period of time.
The ‘Direct’ link option is being retired because rather than creating sharing links it creates file download links, which do not reflect the scope chosen by the user and may not be accessible after a short period of time.
If no users in your tenant are using the Direct Link option you can safely disregard this message.
Key points
What you need to do to prepare:
If you are currently using the Direct link option, you have until September 25, 2021 to fix your apps and flows. After that, the action will return an error message. In order to create a long-lived Sharing Link as intended, please select “View” or “Edit” as the Link Type rather than “Direct”.
