GitHub Microsoft 365 Community

The community on GitHub extends beyond the other Power Platform communities on this list. First, it incorporates the Power Platform into larger discussions about M365. Second, it can be considered an open-platform content guide. This community acts as a repository for M365 Community Docs content on the official Microsoft website. On GitHub, though, you can see and contribute to conversations (“issues”) about the content. You can also add your own „issues“. This is a useful community to have on your radar for anything M365 related.
