Data Export is an additional service made available as a Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) solution, which adds the ability to duplicate Dynamics 365 (online) data to a Microsoft Azure SQL Database store in a customer-owned Microsoft Azure subscription.
Web API Enhancements
When the scripts are written leveraging the Web API, these scripts can start working when the local data in Dynamics 365 for Outlook is leveraged when the user is offline.
Activity Sorting Control
There is a new sortdate attribute on the activity pointer entity that can be used for controlling how activities are sorted by date. For instance, if you want to have email entities sorted by the senton attribute value instead of the modifiedon attribute value, create a workflow or plugin to set the sortdate value equal to the senton value only for email entities. Otherwise, sortdate attribute can be set equivalent to the modifiedon value. For your query, you can use sortdate attribute in the orderby criteria.
Server-to-server authentication
Use server-to-server (S2S) authentication to seamlessly and securely communicate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises) with your web applications and services. S2S authentication is the common way that apps registered with Microsoft AppSource use to access the Dynamic 365 data of their subscribers.
