What You Need to Know About Business Central 2025 Release Wave 1 – Cloud Setup & Upgrade Strategy.

Hi,

Microsoft has officially released Business Central 2025 Release Wave 1, and it’s one of the most impactful updates in recent history. In this blog, I’ll cover:

  • How to Set Up Business Central Cloud with the latest version (v26 preview and general availability)

  • Why Microsoft has removed a large set of fields and tables – what it means for your extensions

  • The implications of Version 25 as a break version and how your future upgrades will be different

  • Upgrade Strategy Best Practices moving forward




Business Central Cloud Setup Simplified

Setting up Business Central Cloud has never been easier. The new release adds a simplified deployment model for partners and internal IT teams, making onboarding faster and more stable.

Major Cleanup – Fields and Tables Removed

Microsoft has cleaned up a lot of legacy content from the application. This is aimed at improving performance and scalability. But it also means developers need to be very careful during upgrades and deployments to ensure nothing breaks.

Why Version 25 Was a Turning Point

Microsoft flagged v25 as a break version, meaning if your extensions or customizations relied on removed fields/tables, you need to refactor them. This video will guide you through the impact of this version and how it reshapes future upgrades.

Upgrade Path Changes

Upgrades post-v25 will follow a more streamlined path. However, you must be cautious about:

  • Extensions using deprecated structures

  • Missing fields in tables

  • Changes in page interactions

This blog complements the YouTube video for those who prefer reading and will help you structure your next upgrade plan.
