"In Development", "Rolling Out", and "Launched" are Microsoft terms that I pulled straight from the public roadmap. "Development Priorities" do not appear on the Access Roadmap. Instead, they get updated from time to time in official Access blog posts. I'll include a link to the official Access blog post that lists the current development priorities as they get updated. #### Development Priorities The items listed below reflect Microsoft's order of priority and were published in the following article, *[Our Road Ahead - Microsoft Access Engineering Priorities Oct 2022](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access-blog/our-road-ahead-microsoft-access-engineering-priorities-oct-2022/ba-p/3651894)*. New priorities added since the [previous set of priorities](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access-blog/changes-to-our-public-roadmap-and-how-we-communicate-access/ba-p/3329075) are shown in bold below. Dropped priorities are struck through. 1. **Continued Focus on Monthly Issue Fixes** *(Monthly Issue Fix Blog)* 2. Inconsistent Database Error Fix 3. **New Macro Signing Support** 4. New (Modern) Web Browser Control (to support Chromium Edge) 5. **Dataverse Connector Data Type Support for Floating Point** 6. **Dataverse Connector Data Type Support for Rich Text** 7. **Dataverse Connector support to export to a specific Dataverse solution or publisher** 8. ~~Enabling Large Address Aware (LAA) for 32-Bit Access~~ 9. ~~SQL Monaco Editor~~ 10. ~~New Microsoft Graph Data Connector~~ #### In Development - `APR 2023`: Modern Web Browser Control - `MAR 2023`: New Modern Web Browser Form Control #### Rolling Out None. #### Launched None.
