When to enable Dynamics 365 apps in Power Platform Environments

Hello everyone,

can someone explain the "Enable Dynamics 365 apps" setting when creating a new environment in more detail. Which D365 apps are they exactly?

What I know so far

  • If the D365 apps are activated, Dataverse already contains tables for D365 Sales (lead, opportunity, etc.), etc.
  • If the 365 apps are disabled, I can still add D365 apps to the environment as resources. E.g. "Business Central Virtual Table".
  • In the settings of an environment (D365 apps deactivated) there is still the button for "Dynamics 365 App for Outlook". However, this does not work.

A few questions

  • Are there any downsides to always activating the D365 apps even if you will never use Sales etc.?
  • Can I really only install "Dynamics 365 App for Outlook" if D365 apps are activated?
  • When activating D365 apps, can I clean up dataverse a bit and delete the tables that are not required (lead, opportunity, etc.)?
  • After activating D365 apps, which of the added components can I use without an additional license?

Thank you for your help and best regards
Nico

    Unfortunately not. So far, I've been doing pretty well with always activating the D365 apps. Then at least you have all the functions. Disadvantage: you use unnecessary memory.
