Feature switch for the new document experience

Feature management has a setting to enable or turn off the new document experience. This allows a gradual rollout of composite layouts per environment.

Area: Admin and platform. Status: GA. Developer relevance: low. Airtime: 1 min across 1 video, demoed.

Status evidence

  • Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.

Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 9:35 "we are not changing any default states or states for for any of the layouts we ship" - Existing layouts keep their default state, which makes the rollout low risk.
  • 9:54 "So, it's not that when you update to the to the next major here, that suddenly your invoices will look completely different." - Reassures that upgrading does not change how existing invoices look.

Caveats mentioned

  • Default states of shipped layouts are not changed in version 2026, so invoices do not suddenly look different after the upgrade.

Documented features match

  • Reuse header/footer layouts across document reports - low confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573326. Composable layouts rollout
  • Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Get started creating report layouts, checked 2026-10-02. The Subtype field and composite layout options are available when the Document Report Experience feature is enabled on the Feature Management page. Note: Passing mention of the Feature Management switch; gradual rollout and unchanged default layouts are not described.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
