Managed solution

A managed solution is a Power Platform solution exported and installed in a read-only deployment state. Components inside a managed solution cannot be edited in the target environment — users see them but cannot modify them, ensuring the customisations as delivered remain as delivered. Managed is the state of every UAT and production environment in a healthy ALM model; unmanaged solutions exist only in development environments where edits happen. Managed solutions support layering — multiple managed solutions install on top of each other (e.g. ISV base plus customer customisations) — and can be cleanly uninstalled in reverse order. The standard way to deploy Power Platform applications across environments.
