On Jul 16, 2019

Applies to: Dynamics 365 Layout (build 109.1907.10002.0)

The Dynamics 365 Layout team is pleased to announce the availability of the following features and improvements in the July update:

Locked layouts
Improved experience for HoloLens 2
Localization support on HoloLens 2

Locked layouts

Now you can lock a layout to prevent unintentional changes.

To lock a layout, air tap Lock layout in the sidebar menu. This locks the current layout for editing.

After a layout has been locked, if someone selects a model in the layout, on the third consecutive attempt, a pop-up will appear to let them know that the layout is locked for editing. A similar pop-up is displayed when attempting to place a model from the Layout menu into the current layout.

A lock graphic is displayed in the top right corner of the layout tile.

To unlock a layout, air tap Unlock layout in the sidebar menu. Anyone can unlock a layout.

Improved experience for HoloLens 2

The Layout team has worked hard to provide the best in-app experience on HoloLens 2. Layout is automatically downloaded and installed on HoloLens 2 during the HoloLens 2 start-up experience. You can use your existing Azure Active Directory credentials to sign in to HoloLens 2 and use Layout.

If you dont have an active Layout subscription, try the app for free for up to 90 days.

Localization support on HoloLens 2

Starting with the July update, you can use Layout in the following locales on HoloLens 2:

US
Canada (English and French)
UK
Australia
Germany
France
China
Japan
Taiwan (no speech support)
Hong Kong (no speech support)

The Layout app uses the locale you choose when you set up HoloLens 2.

Note that voice for the room-scan process is not supported for non-English languages in this update.
