This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1.
The 2nd of the new functionality in the User experiences section is optimize screen estate usage on the web.
Work optimally with the Business Central web client on modern devices with large screen sizes or large external monitors. This feature ensures optimal screen usage even when pages are shown in different modes, maximizing your productivity and efficiency in the web client.
Enabled for: Users, automatically

General Availability: Apr 2025
Feature Details
This feature optimizes screen estate usage in the Business Central web client. It includes:
- Optimized default narrow mode page sizes.
- Optimized sizing and animation of the FactBox pane in narrow mode.
- An option to resize the FactBox pane and remember this choice per page and mode.
My Opinion
This sounds like some good usability improvements when viewing Business Central on smaller screens. I would like to see some improvements for larger screens; where the client doesn’t expand to fill the whole page when the browser is expanded; many websites handle this by defining a maximum width and keeping the display to that as a maximum.
