Limited Microsoft Fabric experience
Move from the Fabric workload to full CloudMonitor.
If you found CloudMonitor in the Fabric Workload Hub, you are using a limited, read-only discovery experience. The full CloudMonitor app is the primary product for connected cost history, allocation, savings, budgets, administration, and Ask Finn.
Know which experience you are using
The Fabric workload is a doorway, not the destination.
The workload gives people who discover CloudMonitor in Microsoft Fabric a narrow, read-only preview. The full CloudMonitor app is the product your team uses for connected FinOps analysis, configuration, governance, and administration. Full-product features depend on your plan, connected data, and permissions.
