SharePoint Framework 1.23: What Changed and What Retires

Published: 12 June 2026. Updated: 29 October 2026. Sources: Microsoft 365 Developer Blog: General Availability of SharePoint Framework 1.23 and SPFx roadmap update, September 2026

When was SPFx 1.23 released, and what changed?

SharePoint Framework 1.23 reached general availability on 13 May 2026. It added grouping for list view command sets, a preview of the new SPFx CLI that will replace the Yeoman generator, and npm audit fixes. Its announcement also set two retirements for 1 December 2026: the Online Workbench in SharePoint Online, and the geolocation feature in Adaptive Card Extensions. Patch releases 1.23.1 and 1.23.2 followed in June.

Correction: an earlier version of this alert gave the general availability date as 28 May 2026. Microsoft announced it, and published version 1.23.0 to npm, on 13 May 2026.

For most SharePoint Online tenants an SPFx release is a background change: the framework version a solution is built with is chosen by its developer, not configured by an admin. What admins do own is the deadline this release set, and the knowledge of which custom solutions in the tenant depend on what.

What SPFx 1.23 Added

  • Grouping for list view command sets. Custom commands in a list or library toolbar and context menu can be grouped, so a solution with several actions no longer crowds the command bar. Solutions only gain this when their developer updates the package.
  • A preview of the SPFx CLI. Published to npm as @microsoft/spfx-cli, it is meant to replace the Yeoman generator for scaffolding new projects, with open-source templates that teams can swap for their own.
  • npm audit fixes in the Yeoman generator and project scaffolding.

SharePoint Framework 1.23 GA: What Admins Need to Know

Retiring on 1 December 2026

The 1.23 announcement set two retirements in SharePoint Online for the same day:

  • The SharePoint Framework Online Workbench. Developers who test web parts in the hosted workbench page need to move to the debugging toolbar and test on ordinary SharePoint pages instead, which is Microsoft's recommended replacement.
  • Geolocation in Adaptive Card Extensions. Already deprecated, and fully retired from SharePoint Online on that date, so any Viva Connections card built on it needs updating.

Neither needs an admin setting changed. Both need the people who build or maintain your custom solutions to know the date, which is usually the gap.

Since 1.23

  • 1.23.1 (5 June 2026) and 1.23.2 (30 June 2026) followed as patch releases. Microsoft's roadmap says 1.23.2 brought issue fixes, npm audit fixes and groundwork for new and edit panel overrides in lists and libraries.
  • 1.24 reached general availability on 28 October 2026. It makes React 18 the default React version for SPFx solutions, after that move slipped from its original June 2026 target.
  • 1.25 is planned for December 2026 or January 2027 and is where the SPFx CLI is due to reach general availability, replacing the Yeoman generator from that version on.

Recommended Admin Actions

  1. Know what is deployed. In the SharePoint admin center, go to More features > Apps and open the app catalog to list the SPFx solutions in the tenant and who supplied each one.
  2. Tell solution owners about 1 December. Any internal team or vendor still testing in the Online Workbench, or shipping a Viva Connections card that uses geolocation, needs to change before then.
  3. Plan for React 18. Solutions move to React 18 when their developers rebuild them on 1.24. Ask maintainers when they plan to test, rather than finding out after a rebuild changes how a web part behaves.
  4. Check who can deploy. Custom solutions run with the access of the people using them, so the sites where solutions are deployed and the people who can add them matter. Report Master can export a full permission matrix for each site you check.
