Including shared components in managed solutions in Power Platform or Dynamics 365 can lead to hidden risks during deployments.
Risks include silent overwrites, dependency conflicts, confusion in solution layering, and incorrect connection bindings.
To avoid these issues, it's recommended to use a Shared Utilities Solution, not include shared components in every app, override connection references post-deployment, and maintain backward-compatible shared flows.
Proper deployment structure involving shared utilities, shared child flows, and common connection references can help prevent deployment conflicts and maintenance headaches in the long run.
