Explanation

Microsoft designs Dynamics 365 Finance (built on the Finance and Operations platform) so that all platform and application updates are backward compatible from both a design-time and runtime perspective. This means: (1) at design time, existing custom code and extensions will still compile without errors after an update, and (2) at runtime, existing customizations and extensions will continue to function correctly. This backward compatibility guarantee is critical because it allows companies to apply Microsoft updates without breaking their custom code, reducing regression risk and upgrade costs.
